Navigating Peace
Peace you can touch
We encourage you to engage and visit with these symbols of a commitment to peace throughout our District
THE PeaceBuilders NETWORK is hoping to open your eyes to tangible peace all around you in your own backyard. This will be an ever growing page documenting the symbolic commitments throughout our District as well as the achievements of Rotary clubs.
Always remember that "Every act of service is an act of peace." Of course we encourage your club to become a PeaceBuilder Club and we celebrate clubs who have planted Peace Poles. But your service to your community builds Positive Peace every day which is why we support your club's community service chair to join THE NETWORK meetings each month. We want to celebrate your service. We want to celebrate your acts of peace.
