Program:
Create Hope in the World - Make Peace Visible was the message delivered by Patricia McCleese, D5960 District Governor, during her official visit to our Club. Hope blossoms into peace when Rotarians look for problems, promise to help, and keep the promise.
This is the first year of the District’s 3-year initiative to create environments where peace can happen – Rotary as an agent of peace, Rotarians as peace builders. Rotarians will intentionally connect Club activities with peacebuilding and share their peace stories within their communities. During this first year, emphasis will be on planting seeds through peace programs. Peace Talks by knowledgeable people will be offered and recorded for potential Club programs. The first 20-minute Peace Talk is August 22 at 7:30 AM on Zoom and will address local and global challenges and prospects of peace.
“This is a changing world. The story of Rotary will have to be written again and again.” Paul Harris
