Peace is more than the lack of conflict or the absence of violence. Positive Peace creates and sustains societies that allow all people to flourish. And this is what Rotarians are doing daily across District 5400 – working to support flourishing communities’ where we live and work.

Rotary International is collaborating with the Institute for Economics and Peace to offer all Rotary members – and their community partners - the resources and tools they need to promote positive peace locally.

In District 5400 we have a Peace Force, that includes members from several clubs and it’s growing. They are hosting annual Learning Peace Camps for kids, hosting peace walks, building peace parks and much more. Here are some ideas you may want to build into your club’s programs:

Celebrate the International Day of Peace in September 21^st with a fellowship or service event
Become a Rotary Peacebuilder Club
Plant a Peace Pole in your community
Include peace building messages in any service event
Plant pollinator trees, bushes, or a Chicago Peace Rose and add a peace pole or interpretive sign about peace and the planting
Join a local school or city program that promotes peace building
Use a peace pledge in their club or individual activities (sample pledges below)
Use a digital banner on social media with a peace builders’ message
Join and support existing local/regional peace building activities
Recognize a ‘Peace Hero’ in your community at a club meeting, or in conjunction with a peace walk in your community.
Join the D5400 Peace Committee
Designate a Peace Ambassador in your club

For more information or ideas, reach out to District Governor Janice Fulkerson for her support.

District Governor's Message

membership & new club development month

Rotary International produces an annual calendar of themed months, and August is Membership and New Club Development Month.

It’s a time to recognize our members and the incredible work you do locally and globally.

I believe every month is a great time to recognize and share appreciation for Rotarians, and invite others to join us in the joyful events hosted by Rotary. There are many fun things that happen across District 5400 every month that the possibilities to join others - and invite others - are endless.

Thank YOU for being a part of the Rotary peace force and making a difference everyday. Each connection you make locally and globally builds the foundation for peace and fun.

I hope you find ways to catch up with good friends and meet new ones in August - and beyond!

Peace,

Janice Fulkerson
