The month of February is very special in the Rotary calendar since it is designated World Understanding Month. The month also includes the anniversary of the first meeting of Rotary held on February 23, 1905, now designated World Understanding and Peace Day… 

 

World Understanding Month is a chance for every club to pause, plan and promote the Fourth Avenue of Service-Rotary’s continued quest for goodwill, peace and understanding among people of the world. 

Many clubs and their representatives are already participating in activities that promote world understanding through humanitarian service in support of a variety of international projects. 
Please consider what our club can do more to promote more World Understanding in our Rotary World. 
 Our club is involved in the Short Term Exchange Program (STEP). 
 Should we reconsider our club to participate in the Youth Exchange Program? 
 Our club is involved in and supports international projects through our district’s matching grant program. 

This is the month to expand our club’s “World Understanding” as a way to embrace the broad mission of Rotary with “Peace Through Service.”
