Welcome to Norman Cross Timbers Rotary Club! This year’s Rotary International theme is “Unite for Good”. That is exactly what our Club does, both in our local community and beyond. Our members are committed to providing service, developing fellowship, growing knowledge, while having fun. Together, we give back to Norman while forming lasting friendships.
We hope you will consider stopping by one of our Tuesday evening meetings or other events. You can find us on Facebook or reach out to me directly at mklink@ccfinorman.org for more information. Rotary is an opportunity for you to create lasting change – here in Norman and beyond. Come find out more!

Zena's Kitchen for Area Students 

Grand Opening April 10, 2026

Norman Cross Timbers Rotary Club members partnered with Assignment Hope, Boys & Girls Club of Norman, and the Center for Children and Families to complete Zena's Kitchen. The project was funded in part through a Rotary District 5770 Grant.

Expected to be fully operational on June 1, Zena's Kitchen will provide daily meals, cooking classes, academic support, and social-emotional learning, fostering a safe and enriching environment for vulnerable middle- and high-school students. The after-school haven is expected to serve approximately 40 enrolled students daily, with outreach programs extending to 200 youth annually.

It is located in the new Boys & Girls Club facility at Reaves Park in Norman.

Refurbishing & Restocking Food Pantries

Two of Norman’s outdoor pantries were refurbished and restocked by 10 members of the Norman Cross Timbers Rotary Club at the end of 2026 and into the 1Q of 2026. 

Construction and painting supplies were funded through a community service grant from Rotary District 5770. 

The pantries were originally established by the Red Dirt Collective and are located by Mr. Shortstop near Lindsey and SE 12th Street and on Vicksburg St, across from Irving Middle School.  

The Collective regularly fills the pantries with groceries. Other food stuffs are donated by churches in the area, Rotary members, and individual citizens to keep the pantries stocked with nonperishable items. 

The Rotary grant monies have been stretched by Cross Timbers to stock both pantries with a full grocery haul on several additional occasions, since the renovation was competed.
