Caring for Friends
Do you know of a dynamic person working in a career related to peace-building who could benefit from a fully-supported Masters Degree or Professional Certificate earned at one of the Rotary Peace Centers? Or, perhaps you know someone in a peace-building network who might know of someone at the right time of their career for this opportunity? If so, please share your idea with the District’s Peace Fellowship Subcommittee Chair, Joy Charlton, 
“Peace-building” is defined broadly. Fellows currently serve as leaders in non-profit organizations, education and research, human rights law, law enforcement, business, consulting, media and the arts, national government agencies, and international organizations such as the United Nations.
Rotarians and Friends of Rotary:
This video is a 26 minute video designed to be a club program. It highlights Rotary’s long term efforts in polio eradication, describes and is an example of how to run a virtual/in-person meeting, and speaks about the pandemic we all are in the midst of.
Two questions: How can Rotarians save lives during the COVID-19 Pandemic? and How can this crisis stimulate an evolved, even more impactful Rotary?
Please watch this powerful video with Tony Fauci, President Holger, Cliff Dochterman, John Hewko, leaders from the Gates Foundation, WHO, GAVI, Yale, and more, answering these two questions!
The video was produced by The Global Impact Group (TGIG.org) and is a result of discussions and ideas that emerged from The Rotary Pandemic Response Task Force. Jim Marggraff, who you will see in the video, is a founding member of TGIG, a Rotarian in the Lamorinda Sunrise Rotary Club, and one of the 9-member global Rotary Pandemic Response Task Force.The video was filmed at one of his club’s meetings.
