In 2003, Cross Timbers Rotary club introduced Le Tour de Vin as a new and exciting way to raise funds for community and other Rotary service projects. 2008 marked the first time Sooner and Norman Rotary clubs joined Cross Timbers to expand its success, and newly-formed Legacy Rotary club joined the collaboration in 2018. The evening features fine wine and whiskey-tasting, music, silent and live auctions, and hor d'oeuvres from Norman restaurants. Over the years, money raised has supported projects for local charities including Red Cross, Bridges, Mary Abbott House, Thunderbird Clubhouse, Food & Shelter, Center for Children and Families, Inc., The Studio of Sooner Theatre, Full Circle, The Virtue Center and The Share Center of Food & Shelter.
