Teaching peace is no different than any other skill. It can be cultivated with the proper practice, passion, and guidance.
The seven Peace Centres – located in Bangkok, Thailand, Durham and Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA, Bradford, England, Tokyo, Japan, Brisbane, Australia, Kampala, Uganda, and Uppsala, Sweden – guide peace fellows to become catalysts of peace. Through academic training, practisehttps://lnkd.in/eN7TPeEp, and global networking opportunities, the Rotary Peace Fellowship leads to fulfilling careers that involve building peace in their everyday lives.
93% of working alumni have a job connected to peace development.
90% of alumni have opportunities to connect & collaborate with Rotary networks and partners.
Happy holidays to those celebrating Passover, Easter, and Ramadan.

It was great seeing so many of you online last week for fellowship. Stay tuned for more updates from our new friend Lars when it comes to vision exercising!
Have a great week,
Maddie
President-Elect
If you were able attend the Social meeting last Tuesday (12 April) you were introduced to Lars Henriksson, who will be conducting the Vision Exercise with us. Not to worry if you weren’t at the meeting, or if you want to think more about what he said. Secretary Chris recorded the Introduction to Vision Exercise process that Lars presented. https://vimeopro.com/jccringle/passport
In addition to being Consul for Sweden and a Rotary PDG, Lars is also Coordinator for Zone 28 for the International Vision Facilitation Committee’s (IVFC) Club Visioning program. District 7070 has been involved with the program for about 15 years now. It is a real opportunity for us that Lars has offered his services (and those of his team) as we seek to grow into our own unique D7040 Passport Club future.
You will be getting more specific information about dates and activities this week, but in the meantime - take a look at the link above.
Please check all updated information for the District Conference on the district website, www.rotary7040.com, information box top left corner.
Responding to
the Crisis in the Ukraine
In response to the deepening humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, The Rotary Foundation has created an official channel for Rotary members around the world to contribute funds to support the relief efforts underway by Rotary districts and has designated its Disaster Response Fund as the main avenue for contributions.
Contributions to the Disaster Relief Fund in support of Ukraine can be made here. All funds need to be received into the Disaster Response Fund by 30 April 2022 in order to qualify for use in support of the Ukrainian relief efforts.
Although the Disaster Response Fund will be the main avenue for Rotary Foundation support, Rotary and Rotaract clubs are also encouraged to create their own responses to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.
