April Letter to the E-Club of One World
Dear Rotarians and Friends,
We finished the month of March on a great note for our E-Club with the creation of a new Strategic Planning Committee. Link our webmaster commented, “that’s awesome and sorely needed!” The new committee with the 7 members who accepted the invite to participate, will meet in April to elect its chair-person and to start developing the 3-year plan for our club.
In my March letter, I asked: “What is your definition of Peace?” Thank you for those who answered this question. For some of you “Peace means respect, no wars, harmony. Peace is living together without conflicts between people from different countries”. For others peace is “to understand the essence of empathy and to eradicate ego with emphasis on unity and equality”. Those answers were very helpful for me. In order to give a deeper meaning for our club’s members with our Peace meetings, I am exploring now what the Rotary E-Club of World Peace is
doing for its members and if we could partner with them. After our last excellent Peace meeting with our prestigious guest Peter Kyle, I am trying to develop those relations and connections and to schedule Rudy Westervelt, a Peace Figure and founder of the E-Club of World Peace to one of our next Peace meetings.
Past REOW president Ken Meyer will be our speaker at our April 6 Fellowship meeting and I hope we have time for a vocational minute at the end of this meeting. The May fellowship meeting will be designated as our Club Assembly. Don’t forget to participate in our meeting on Monday, April 15 to discuss the club projects for 2024-25. And now I have an announcement for all of you who love to travel and to experience the work of Rotary with your own eyes. On June 14-17 there is a Rotary Trip to Los Cabos in Mexico to join Mimi our PEN in distributing backpacks to the school that our District Grant is providing for families in need. More details of the trip will be posted on the website soon. Please consider joining us in this adventure.
With Hope and Peace,
Claudine Schooley

Rotary International President R. Gordon R. McInally called for members to capture the world's attention and lead the way toward possibilities far beyond our current expectations.
"The goal is to restore hope — to help the world heal from destructive conflicts and, in turn, to help us achieve lasting change for ourselves."
A significant way to bring hope to the world is to put a greater emphasis on peace, McInally said. He cited the action Rotary members have taken in the past year to support the people of Ukraine after the invasion by Russia. Rotary has made humanitarian relief a priority, attracting more Ukrainian members in the process. But McInally noted that true relief won't come without peace — not just in Ukraine, but in Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, and dozens of other places around the globe.
"Peace is the soil where hope takes root," McInally said.
McInally also emphasized the power of continuity, calling for Rotary members to continue the work of some past leaders.
