During my part of the presentation on the Peace Builders Initiative at our February 15, meeting I noted that I had been inspired by a statement made by Holger Knaack (image to left), 2020-2021 Rotary International President, at the RI International Assembly in January of 2020. I thought you would enjoy reading the direct quotation of President Knaack's comment:
In Rotary, we stand for values of equality, tolerance, and peace. Tolerance is a relevant concern in so many parts of the world now. Rotary is not political and it must stay that way. But when things obviously go wrong, we cannot look away. Rotarians must not be speechless. We must stand by our values and our Four-Way Test. We are measured not only by our results, but also by our attitude.
