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.
