A Rotarian's guide to Peace Through Service
May 2013
Peace is more than the absence of conflict. It brings freedom, security, and happiness. It is the enemy of persecution and instability. It is central to Rotary's mission and a driving force in our efforts to eradicate polio across cultures and in areas of conflict. In July, RI President Sakuji Tanaka challenged every club member to build Peace Through Service.
