Our District

Rotary District 6600 consists of 60 Rotary clubs and over 2,800 members. Our district is situated in the north central and western sector of Ohio, encompassing over 12,000 square miles. The District’s E-Club, Pathways, has 40 members from all over the United States, Europe, Australia, and the Caribbean! District clubs range in size from 300 members in The Rotary Club of Toledo (one of the largest clubs in the world) to 8 members in Cardington, one of our smallest clubs. There is great diversity in the clubs across our district.

About Our Region

Much of the northern boundary of our district borders Lake Erie, the smallest of the Five Great Lakes. The largest city in our district, Toledo, with a population of 279,000 people, is home to a number of large corporations such as Owens Corning, Owens Illinois, First Solar and more. Only 50 miles from Detroit, Michigan, our community is closely tied to the automotive industry (home of the Jeep) and is a heavy industrial and manufacturing area. Once known as the glass capital of the world, Toledo is still entrenched heavily in the glass industry and in conjunction with the University of Toledo, is becoming hub for the development of solar and wind energy. Local treasures include the Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo Zoo, Toledo Metroparks and the Toledo Symphony. While Toledo is the largest city in our district, our clubs are also located in moderate sized cities such Elyria, Findlay, Lima, Mansfield, Marion, and Sandusky. District 6600 is home to vast areas of farmland, supplying America with wheat, corn, and soybeans as well as dairy and poultry products. Over half of our Rotary clubs are situated in small towns and many are vital to the very town’s existence.
