JOIN US AS WE CELEBRATE RIP BARRY'S YEAR!
FEBRUARY IS “CONFLICT PREVENTION/RESOLUTION MONTH”
The month of February is very special in the Rotary calendar since it is designated “Conflict Prevention/Resolution month” and world understanding month. It is also the month we celebrate the birth of our organization on the 23rdof February. Widely regarded as world peace day.
1987-1988 RI President Charles C Keller (RI Convention, Munich-Germany)
“The challenge of world peace...is the most pressing imperative of our time.... In a world which possesses the means of self-destruction, if we do not find the path of peace, whatever else we do won’t make much difference.”
Our organization’s guiding principles have been developed over the years to provide Rotarians with a strong, common purpose and direction. They serve as a foundation for our relationships with each other and the action we take in the world.
The Fourth Object of Rotary;
“The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.”
Clearly defines for us the rules of engagement in our ever-changing world and the challenges we face every day.
As we recognize the month of February, let us place more emphasis on the relevance of our peace centers program. An Endowed program of our Rotary Foundation as an avenue to accomplish our fourth object.
In closing, I would love to leave with you the words of Dorothy Thompson;
“Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict—alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence”
YIRS,
Dr. Patrick E. Adizua

This EPCP goal was discussed and enthusiastically received by The Department of Labour.
As it happens, our EPCP community impact goal compliments an intitative, undertaken by The Department of Labour and The Ministry of National Security, funded by a grant from the International Development Bank and expected to run over a five year period.

Under the EPCP, qualifed persons must be participants in one or more of the numerous civic organizations in The Bahamas.
The expected success of the RCEN's Vocation Service EPCP program initiative, will benefit from an allied and cooperative effort of all civic organizations in The Bahamas and The Department of Labour.
January is Vocational Service month in Rotary District 7020 and as we continue to serve the community, your VSC thanks you for your support.
The VSC welcomes new members and asks all to stay tuned for more updates and action this month.
