This week we welcomed 13 members plus our speaker, Gloria Staudt. Rotary Moment: Frances Kolotyluk gave us the Rotary moment today. She first spoke about the object of Rotary and how it has evolved over time and she then highlighted the opportunities we have to increase our membership by inviting people from the trades sector. We all know people in trades and it is just a matter of inviting them to our club to attend a meeting. Announcements: * Next week is our Valentine’s Day Auction. Make sure you send Peter Fox the details of your donations. Try to attend the meeting that day, otherwise we may be making purchases on your behalf and puting them on your tab! * Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner is scheduled for April 7th.

In just over a decade, the Rotary Peace Centers have trained more than 1,000 fellows for careers in peacebuilding. Many of them are serving as leaders at international organizations or have started their own foundations. “Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.” - Albert Einstein.
