February is Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution Month, and District 7780 has a special connection to one of Rotary’s most significant recent peace initiatives.

In this month’s feature interview, Marty shares the story behind the donation, the vision for Peace Fellows in the Middle East, and how Rotary’s   Peace Centers continue to evolve around the world.
