Also referred to as World Understanding Month, February is recognised as a time to promote the 4th Avenue of Service. Rotary's quest for goodwill peace and understanding among people of the world by reducing the causes of conflict such as poverty inequality ethnic tension and lack of access to education.
Clubs are encouraged to focus on projects that foster understanding and train leaders in conflict mediation and support peace fellowships.
One of the most important things we can do to tell our Rotary stories in an effective,compelling way is to make sure we all use consistent and unified messaging.
This message is aimed to inspire members, participants and the public with an idea that aligns with our Action Plan and calls on us to work together.
Using the presidential message in club and district communications helps to convey Rotary's global impact and create stronger recognition of Rotary's name in our communities and with potential service partners.
It can help people understand who we are and what we do and might even inspire them to join us
