Rotary leaders are ready to build 'Peace Through Service' after International Assembly
RI President-elect Sakuji Tanaka began the weeklong training event by asking the 530 governors-elect to build Peace Through Service. "Peace, in all of the ways that we can understand it, is a real goal and a realistic goal for Rotary," Tanaka said.

It is something that we can find and that we can achieve, every day and in many simple ways."

Quote of the Month: Youth's great possibilities
"The youth of every generation has stood in a critical position, for the scales have been tipped one way or the other by the training they received from their elders. This is particularly true today. Our boys and girls have greater freedom, exercise greater power, and have more opportunities for both good and evil, than ever before. How important it is, therefore, that youth’s great possibilities for good be realized and developed!"
— Angus S. Mitchell, 1948-49 RI president, address to the 1949 convention in New York City
