Happy Holidays to each of you and at this time of year, we wish each other Peace, Joy, and a Happy New Year. Together let’s help these words ring true for 2023 as we make peace our Vision in Rotary Clubs and in the Rotary Action Group for Peace.

During my recent talk to the Colorado Peace Community I showed a 2015 Rotarian Magazine Cover “Bad News for Polio” it’s end is near. This is a perfect example of a Rotary vision and actions, even in war zones where the request to stop the fighting for a day or two was honored. And the volunteers were ready to immunize all the Children to end polio.

Let’s take the action now to bring peace to our Planet. It’s a journey, which begins with a Rotary Vision, our own peace, and Mutually Assured Survival actions. My 150+ interviews and Podcasts with world peacebuilders shows examples of peace actions (PeacePodcast.org).

Thank you Jim Halderman for inviting me to speak.
