Join us in promoting the 2016-17 Rotary Peace Fellowship!
The 2016-17 Rotary Peace Fellowship application is now available on the Rotary Peace Centers website,
featuring links to new resources that are available for Rotary members
as well as applicants. Remember, Rotarians play a key role in guiding
applicants through the process and connecting them with their local
clubs and districts for endorsement.
- Rotary District Contact Finder:
This new tool enables applicants to find an email address for their
district contact so they can request an interview to obtain the
endorsement required for their application.
Please Note: The deadline for applicants to submit applications to district 5040 is 10th April. Districts must submit endorsed applications to The Rotary Foundation by 1 July.

Rotary Peace Centers Major Gifts Initiative dinner in Canada garners support |
|
| |
|
|
| |
 Forty
invited guests gathered in a converted steamship terminal -- now a
beautiful meeting space -- in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, in
November for the annual Rotary Peace Centers reception and dinner of
zones 25/26.
The
convivial and informative event featured Rotary Peace Fellow Kevin
Melton and singer/songwriter Harold Payne and updates on the peace
centers and Major Gifts Initiative. Planting the seeds for some and
“sealing the deal” for others, events like this one garner significant
support for the Rotary Peace Centers and our peace fellows.
