Dear Rotarians,

As Rotarians we stand for peace. We stand for compassion. We believe in the power of good, and we believe that no need should go unmet. We stand together as the global leaders of humanitarian service. We come from diverse cultures. We speak different languages. But we don’t see our differences as a hindrance to what can be accomplished when we harness our differences to accomplish one goal - to serve others.

There is no dignity in violence. There is no harmony in hate. There is no humanity in bloodshed.

Through service, the Rotarians of the world continue to stand together for peace and understanding, abhorring violence wherever and whenever it takes place.
