Peace Champion and Peace Builder Clubs and District

District 5040 has committed to be a Peace Builder District donating $25,000 for Rotary Peace Centers to educate Peace Fellows through Rotary Peace Fellowship programs.  A presentation officially will be at the Presidential Conference on February 9 to 11, 2018.

 

It is the District Peace Committee's vision to have all D5040 clubs become Peace Builder clubs.  One of the criteria to be a Peace builder club is for the club to have a designated Peace Champion to represent the club at District Peace meetings and to share peace related information with club members.

 

Currently in D5040, there are 9 clubs who have a designated Peace Champion. Lizz Kelly has volunteered to be Royal City's Peace Champion. If any other member is interested, contact Gloria Staudt. For further information about the criteria for being a Peace Builder club or to designate a Peace Champion, please see Gloria Staudt.

Good Host Program

 

 

Image


 

The Good Host program is how YOU can get involved - you are invited to help out by meeting, greeting and sharing cultural experiences with our Youth Exchange student. Victor Xavier (Brazil) is here and deserve to see and experience Canada to the fullest. 

Any one of us can be Good Hosts by simply sharing some time with Victor. A phone call, lunch, dinner with family, sporting event, cultural outing, almost anything goes. However - all who host our youth exchange student unsupervised - even for a day event - must have submitted the YE police check paperwork to Paige Freeman prior to hosting.

Please remember to include our youth exchange students in any activities you and your family participate in. Please speak to Victor directly or contact him at:

  • Email: xaviervictor393@gmail.com
  • Cell: 778-893-2532

6.       Greeter # 2 thanks the speaker and presents the certificate of appreciation for their presentation. NOTE: The certificate is NOT a contribution of $20.00 in the speakers’ name. We donate $20.00 to the Rotary Foundation in recognition of their presentation at the meeting.
