May 2013
In Canada, May is usually a beautiful month. Spring has blossomed, trees and flowers are in bloom, and everyone is filled with a renewed energy as winter finally comes to a close. The changing of seasons can also serve as a time for action as Rotarians bring a fresh perspective to the goals they set for the 2012-13 year. | | Posted by Larry Frank on Apr 27, 2013

May 2013Dear fellow Rotarians, 
From the moment I was nominated as Rotary International president, I knew I would choose a theme that would focus on peace. This is why I planned three peace forums – to give Rotarians an opportunity to think about peace, to talk about peace, and to share their ideas on building peace together. The final Rotary Global Peace Forum takes place this month in Hiroshima, Japan. We hear the word peace every day. But most of us spend little time thinking about what peace is. On its simplest level, we can define peace by what it is not. | | Posted by David W. Hull on Jun 06, 2012

Rotary clubs are open to people of all cultures and ethnicities and are not affiliated with any political or religious organizations. | | Posted on May 23, 2013
