World Understanding and Peace Dinner

Join Rotarians for an evening of presentations and thought-provoking discussions, as we work to increase awareness and discussion of the issues surrounding:

Emigration, Migration, Immigration, Refugees, Asylum Seekers, Work Visas, Green Cards, and Citizenship

     =>Link to registration is at the bottom of this page.

                                               Are adults and children struggling and suffering?
                                    Is this a humanitarian issue?                    Is this a global issue?
                                            Is this a national issue?                Is this a local issue?
                           Is this a controversial topic?          Should we discuss this topic anyway?

Our world has a large and serious problem.           Locally, we have a large and serious problem.

Rotarians have long been involved with helping those who are less fortunate and who are in need. We have Rotarians who have worked, and/or who are currently working, to assist those in need, on both a global scale and locally. Who are these Rotarians; what have they done; how can we help them?

                                               Are we doing enough?          If not, what else can we do?
                                     How can we help?                    I want to help – who should I contact?
