District 6630 Rotarians,
February is Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution Month – Rotary’s goal today is to create environments where peace can be built and maintained through sustainable and measurable activities in communities worldwide. Peacebuilding remains a cornerstone of our mission as a humanitarian service organization.
*How can we put this theme into action?
*Applications for Rotary’s Peace Fellowship are now open! More information later in this newsletter.
*Volunteer at your local high school in their Model United Nations program.
*Install a Peace pole and plant a Peace Garden in your community. Invite the community to a Peace Day.
*Invite opportunities to gather to offer conversation, presentations on conflict management.
*What are social determinants of health? How do those set the foundation for societal conflict? How can Rotarians help?
Looking forward to getting out to a few newly scheduled club visits in Cuyahoga Falls, Mantua, Wadsworth, Garrettsville-Hiram, and North Ridgeville. Still a few remaining to complete our year together. I can't wait to get out to spend time with you and cheer on all that you are doing in your communities.
And lastly... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE mark your calendars for the District Conference April 26 and 27th in Cuyahoga Falls at the Sheraton Suites. We have some fun plans underway as well as some traditions we know are meaningful for all. Come for a meal, a breakout, a day, or the entire conference! Let's connect!
In Rotary Service,
Julie Brandle, District Governor 6630
