Focusing on Peace and Conflict Resolution ... and All We Can Do to Make Our World Better

By Mary Ligon

This month, Rotary International turns a spotlight on Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution, and I’m proud of what we’re doing to instill the spirit of peace and understanding in our young people. We are in the midst of our inaugural year with Youth & Peace in Action – moving a little more slowly than anticipated because of day-to-day changes in school schedules due to COVID, but we still expect great results from this group of young peacemakers. In December, we selected five Georgia high school students to participate in Rotary Youth Exchange next fall, and we will plan to host seven incoming students too – after a two-year break. And last month in Thomasville, we celebrated 75 years of the Georgia Rotary Student Program “Building Peace through Understanding.”

Read on for more about upcoming District and Rotary celebration, as well as some thoughts on membership and Foundation giving. [more]

YOU'VE BEEN SERVED!

By Neill Ferrill

RI Director Peter Kyle has invited each of us to participate in the Zones 33/34 You've Beens Served Event. Running from Wednesday, February 23 (Rotary's Anniversary) to the week of Paul Harris' birthday (Saturday, April 23), this event will allow clubs in the Zones to demonstrate Rotary's motto of Service Above Self by performing random acts of kindness and good deeds in their local communities. This is a "no barriers" event that ALL clubs, Interactors, Rotaractors and Rotarians can participate in to help local communities, raise awareness of Rotary and local clubs, attract new members and engage current members. We also hope to inspire those we serve to pay it forward by serving someone else in the future.

Clubs will work in conjunction with the Zones' Public Image team to advertise this event dedicated to service across the Zones. This event could become an annual event and may, one day, become international with Rotary Clubs all across the world participating.

Visit Rotary Serves – You've Been Served for more information, resources, and a special place to highlight acts of service and kindness performed during the event.! [more]

Finishing Strong

To help each club refocus and Grow More to Do More, Zone 34 has created a membership competition. Check it out ...

GRSP 75th Anniversary

GRSP Celebrates 75 Years and Dedicates Peace Plaza & Will Watt Memorial Fountain

By Katheryne Fields

The Georgia Rotary Student Program celebrated 75 years with a gala January 21 and dedication of the GRSP Peace Plaza and Will Watt Memorial Fountain on January 22 in historic Thomasville, home of GRSP founder Will Watt.

GRSP Chair Bert Guy said, “When we reflect on the past 75 years, we are aware of the many leaders who played a vital part in the history of GRSP. GRSP is credited for connecting many smaller Georgia colleges with international students, often their first in the college or town.”

When Will Watt III (pictured), grandson and namesake of GRSP Founder Will Watt, addressed the crowd at Saturday's plaza and fountain dedication, he said Will Watt Sr.'s house at 714 North Dawson Street had an open-door policy for the Georgia Rotary Student Plan, the initial name for the Georgia Rotary Student Program. To read Will Watt III’s full remarks, get a glimpse of the weekend in photographs by GRSP District 6920 Director Milton Heard, review resolutions and view the full Generations of Generosity Donor List in the GRSP 75th Commemorative Program, visit www.grsp.org/history.
