Let Your Rotary Club Story Be Told!
“ROTARY CREATES ENVIRONMENTS OF PEACE. As a humanitarian organization, peace is a cornerstone of our mission. We believe when people work to create peace in their communities, that change can have a global effect.” — Promoting Peace, Rotary International
Each year, Rotary Clubs around the world fund amazing projects that increase the safety, prosperity and quality of life for their local communities. Now, your Club can weave together all the diverse and wonderful initiatives and tell your local Rotary Club Story in a way that is clear and impactful. In partnership with the global association of International Cities of Peace — a Signature Program for the Rotary eClub of World Peace — your Club can map each good work toward a common goal — a more peaceful and vitalized community.
What your Club is already doing can inspire a new generation of Rotarians.
All you need to do is what you are already doing. The City of Peace program for Rotary Clubs will do the work in creating a “storyboard” of unity and progress. A powerful community-wide Story will raise awareness, increase membership, and let the world know how Rotary is changing the world for the better. Many Clubs have initiated a City of Peace program. It’s easy. It’s profound. And it’s free!
Let your local Rotary Club do what it does best — build a better community. And let your Rotary Club Story be told in the context of community safety, prosperity, and quality of life!
Contact International Cities of Peace for more information. Talk to Rotarians. Fill out the single-page registration and, soon, you’ll inspire current and new members alike. When someone says, “Hey, what’s the story on Rotary?” you’ll have an answer that is true, fair and beneficial. Build goodwill and friendships By establishing your community as a non-divisive, non-political positive peacebuilding City of Peace!
Now your community can establish as an International City of Peace in two ways:
- Initiate, not through the Rotary, but by a Community coalition
- Initiate through your local Rotary Club and highlight your Club’s community service
