Chartering of
Rotary E-Club of World Peace
Sponsored by Rotary District 5330
The Rotary World Peace Conference 2016 on January 15 and 16, 2016 brought together experts and leaders with those interested in learning about solutions to major issues happening in our lives and our world today. Solutions to the root causes of these issues were presented. Networking occurred among those in attendance. Our intent was to support those who would apply their learnings to create positive change. In an effort to maintain contact with and coordinate efforts of those intent on creating this change, the Rotary E-Club of World Peace is being chartered.
Under the Rotary umbrella and organization, which is accepted and respected worldwide, Rotary E-Club of World Peace members will be supported and provide support for those individuals and organizations working to help improve our lives and communities, locally and globally.
