The Magic of Rotary
Creating Peace In Our Communities

Typically when someone thinks of peace, they see it as an aspirational goal that may be impossible to reach. Our minds go to the major conflicts around the world and we discount our ability to impact change in those areas. However, Rotarians are creating peace in our communities every day. We recently planted a peace pole at The Extension where they take in homeless men & women, provide them with shelter, satisfy their hunger, put them on a path to recovery from addiction; giving them the skills to create a better life. These men & women first find peace within themselves. Then they go back to the family & friends they hurt along their path to addiction and make peace with them. This ripple effect of peace spreads like a wave through the community. Every time your club packs a bag with food, teaches a child to read or supports those in need with many other local service projects you are helping create peace in your community.
