The Rotary Peace Centers Professional Certificate Program
Mid-career professionals from around the world, representing a wide variety of fields, participate in an intensive three month course at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. Rotary Peace Center alumnus Richelieu Allison, Regional Director of the West African Youth Network, says, “This course has been the missing link in my [ability] to contribute to the resolution of the numerous problems confronting my region. If I had had the knowledge I am gaining now I would have been in a better position to adequately analyze the conflicts, map out the various actors, go the extra mile, and play a major role in helping to restore peace.” This sentiment has stuck with him, as he wrote in a recent email, “The changes [the program] made in my life cannot be overemphasized.”
A gift to the Peace Center Endowment Fund can make a difference!

Club Goal Setting
Clubs are asked to set annual giving goals for the Every Rotarian, Every Year effort. We’re asking every Rotarian to support our Foundation with a minimum US$100 contribution. At the President-elect Training Seminar (PETS) this spring, our club president-elect will be asked to submit an annual giving goal for the upcoming year. History has proven that clubs that set goals follow through with them. Many clubs are exceeding that goal now. “We decided to try for a total of $600,000 or $200 per capita in our district,” says PDG Holly Callen, D5950. “It seemed like a real stretch and it took us three years to get there, but by setting an ambitious goal, we were able to achieve it. This year we have raised the goal to $1million - $300 per Rotarian!”
More importantly, as our club sets its goal for the coming year, we should also remember to measure our success by the number of lives we’ve saved and changed.
