Rotary Peace Forum The Rotary Peace Forum held February 23, 2013, at the

Kansas State University Leadership Studies Building was

co-hosted by the Manhattan Rotary Club and Manhattan

Konza Rotary Club. Co-sponsoring clubs were: Atchison,

Gardner, Junction City, Lawrence, Lawrence Central,

Overland Park, Shawnee, Shawnee Mission and Topeka

Downtown. Rotary International President Sakuji Tanaka

established “Peace Through Service” as the theme for Rotary

International and asked Rotary clubs worldwide to host

Peace Forums discussing how their respective communities

could effectively contribute to peace and conflict resolution.

The Peace Forum was kicked-off with welcoming remarks by

the event Co-Chairs Ike Ehie, President of the Manhattan

Rotary Club, and Debra Rodenbaugh-Schaub, Past President

of the Manhattan Konza Rotary Club and District Governor

2014/2015. City of Manhattan Mayor, Loren Pepperd, read

the official Proclamation declaring February 23, 2013 as

Manhattan "Day of Peace". More than 10 communities within

Rotary District 5710 officially proclaimed February 23, 2013

as its official community "Day of Peace".

The Governor of Rotary District 5710, Kevin Tubbesing, highlighted Rotary's

global peace efforts. Attendees enjoyed a video greeting by Rotary Interna-

tional President Sakuji Tanaka. The keynote speakers were Phil Silvers, Past

Director, Rotary International; and Mary Eisenhower, President/CEO of People

to People International, known to many as granddaughter of former US

President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

The Peace Forum aimed to heighten awareness of people of all ages, back-

grounds and interests regarding peace related issues. Participation in the event

helped to empower attendees with new knowledge and understanding of how

each of us can contribute to a more peaceful world through their local, state

and international community. Session topics included peace related student and

citizen exchanges and study abroad programs, peace related service and

projects abroad, peace and conflict resolution in our schools & communi-

ties, peace advocacy groups and efforts, peacekeeping matters related to

diplomatic and military service.

More than 150 participants from Abilene to Kansas City, ranging from

middle-school age to senior citizens, attended the event, including commu-

nity leaders, social service agencies, clergy, high school and college students,

teachers and principals, school safety officers, parents, Rotarians and the

general public. Rotarians served as moderators for the seven interactive

concurrent sessions. More than half of the attendees were non-Rotarians,

which was a goal of the planning committee in creating a community-

inclusive event. Attendees received program materials, "Rotary- Peace

Message from RI President Sakuji Tanaka

Dear fellow Rotarians,

From the moment I was nominated as Rotary International president, I knew I would

choose a theme that would focus on peace. This is why I planned three peace forums

– to give Rotarians an opportunity to think about peace, to talk about peace, and to

share their ideas on building peace together. The final Rotary Global Peace Forum

takes place this month in Hiroshima, Japan.

We hear the word peace every day. But most of us spend little time thinking about

what peace is. On its simplest level, we can define peace by what it is not. It is a state

of no war, no violence, and no fear. It means that you are not in danger of hunger, or

persecution, or the suffering of poverty.

But we can also define peace by what it is, and by what it can be. Peace can mean free-

dom of thought and of speech, freedom of opinion and of choice, and the ability for self-

determination. It can mean security, confidence in the future – a life and home in a stable

society. On a more abstract level, peace can mean a sense of happiness, of inner serenity,

of calm.

However we use the word, however we understand peace, Rotary can help us to

achieve it. Rotary helps us to meet the basic needs of others – to provide health care,

sanitation, food, and education when and where they are most needed. It helps to meet

the inner needs as well, for friendship, connection, and caring. And Rotary helps us to

build peace in its most traditional sense, by reducing the causes of conflict. It builds

bridges of friendship and tolerance among people and nations. It helps us to understand

one another.

However we define peace, whatever peace means to us, we can bring it closer through service. Peace, in all of the

ways that we can understand it, is a real goal, and a realistic goal for Rotary. Peace is not something that can only be

achieved through treaties, by governments, or through heroic struggles. It is something that we can find, and that we

can achieve – every day, and in many simple ways.

And so I thank you for your commitment to Peace Through Service – and to a Rotary goal of a more peaceful world.

We hear the word

peace every day. But

most of us spend little

time thinking about

what peace is.

Wilfrid J. Wilkinson

Foundation Trustee Chair

In Canada, May is usually a beautiful month. Spring has blossomed, trees and flowers are in

bloom, and everyone is filled with a renewed energy as winter finally comes to a close. The

changing of seasons can also serve as a time for action as Rotarians bring a fresh perspec-

tive to the goals they set for the 2012-13 year.

Every Rotarian, every contribution, and every project makes a difference every year.

Through The Rotary Foundation, we can all do our part to work toward global peace from

the ground up. Has your club worked on a humanitarian or educational project through

the Foundation? And if not – why not?

There is still time to make your contribution. There is still time to give a community the chance to drink clean water, a

young girl the opportunity to attend school, and a mother the access to the safe maternal care she needs. Contact

your district Rotary Foundation chair and see how you and the other Rotarians in your club or district can participate.

I understand the impact these difficult economic times have had on all of us, but we still need your help. Foundation

programs and projects all start with money. I hope each Rotarian reading my message will have given something based

on his or her own situation. It doesn’t take much from each individual when you have the support of more than 1.2

million members, but that assumes 100 percent support. If you’ve given, I thank you sincerely. But if you haven’t, I

hope you will as together we make May a great month for Rotary and for our Foundation.

Paul Harris Fellow Presented to Mary Eisenhower

The Rotary Club of Shawnee presented a Paul

Harris award to honor Mary Eisenhower, the

granddaughter of President Dwight Eisenhower.

Mary Eisenhower is the former President and

CEO of People to People, an organization started

by her grandfather to promote peace throughout

the world.

Eisenhower expressed her thank to the dedication

of Rotary International and its efforts to promote

the message of peace. She also made special men-

tion of Rotary’s effort to eradicate Polio, indicat-

ing that she is also a Polio Survivor.

Mary Eisenhower’s work to promote peace fits in well with Rotary’s 2013 theme of “Peace Through Service.” Mary

was also presented with an art drawing done by Maranatha Academy student Brooke Buckner. The drawing depicted

Gandhi and Martin Luther King. The art had previously been on display at Rotary’s Peace Forum on the campus of

K-State in February (see page 5 for picture of the drawing on display at the Peace Forum).

Strike Out Polio! More than 150 Rotarians joined forces to raise some money

and have some fun at CommunityAmerica Ballpark on May

21st.

It was a beautiful spring night as the Kansas City T-Bones took

on the hated Lincoln Saltdogs. District Governor Kevin Tub-

besing threw out the first pitch, and made a pitch to the

crowd, educating baseball fans about all that Rotary has done

to bring the world within one percent of being eradicated.

Perhaps trumping Governor Tubbesing’s impassioned plea was

a pre-game address from longtime Royals athletic trainer

Mickey Cobb. The man with two iconic baseball names,

Mickey Cobb was the Royals trainer from 1971-90. Frank

White has called Cobb “the 24-hour trainer who kept us all

on the field.” He was selected as the trainer in the 1982 and

1990 All-Star Games. Cobb is also a testament to Polio survi-

vorship. He was stricken with the disease as a child, and never let it stop him from reaching

the highest level possible in his field. Baseball fans from the Royals’ heyday can still picture Mickey’s determined and

distinctive gait as he sped to care for players in the Royals stadium outfield.

T-shirts benefitting Polio Plus were sold, and the T-Bones donated $2.00 from every Rotarian’s ticket purchase to the

fund. Next year’s event will be in June, with the date announced over the winter. Put it on your calendar for fun at

the old ballpark, with the camaraderie of your fellow Rotarians!
