EAST JERUSALEM ROTARY CLUB ASSIGNED TO ROTARY - Issue to be soon resolved

A statement from a reliable source in District 2490 (Israel) today indicated the controversial issue of Rotary International's charter of the East Jerusalem Rotary Club to "Palestine" will soon be resolved. Another reliable source told the author of this post that Rotary General Secretary is "dealing with the matter."

An unconfirmed policy statement from a Rotary District 2490 source indicated that the issue would be "resolved soon."

The presenting problem is that today Jerusalem is a unified city under Israeli sovereignty and not a part of an independent, UN recognized Palestinian state. Thus, it appears that Rotary has stepped into political quicksand by "dividing" Jerusalem.

Updates as they emerge.

JERUSALEM ROTARY CLUB LAUNCHES MIDDLE EASY YOUTH PEACE EDUCATION INITIATIVE -REQUESTING YOUR SUPPORT

JERUSALEM ROTARY CLUB LAUNCHES MIDDLE EASY YOUTH PEACE EDUCATION INITIATIVE -REQUESTING YOUR SUPPORT, mobilize financial support for the Rotary Peace Project described below.

Dear friends,

Our shared commitment to Rotary is built on our solid & unshakable foundation values - specifically the promotion of understanding, goodwill & peace.

I live in in Jerusalem in one most turbulent conflict zones in the world - the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region.

To date, it has been difficult for Rotarians in our region to design & implement s Rotary Peace Project initiative in Israel & the Middle East.

There has been little opportunity for Rotarians worldwide to support a Rotary initiated project in the region.

I am glad to announce what I feel will be a very successful, flagship, sustainable, youth-oriented peace education project that will move us in the positive direction of conflict resolution through Rotary initiated service.

One reason I am very confident in the high probability of future success of the proposed Rotary project is the capacity of all those involved from our Peace Fellow alum Arik Gutler-Ofir to our Club Internation Services Chair, Dr Dan Shanit, who has implemented successful peace project as a senior official at the Peres Peace Center. and an outstanding.

Both Arik and Dan have strong records of accomplishment as peace builders.

They will also be working with a successful cooperating organization, Manor- Cabri, again with a record of outstanding peace building accomplishments in the region for over 30 years.

I am calling on you to lend a hand on this Middle East youth leadership oriented project- Please:

1. Read the brief project description attached written by Dan & published in today's Jerusalem Rotary Club bulletin;

2. Raise questions, concerns, and expressions of interest to Dan:

danshanit@gmail.com

3. Share this email with Rotarian senior leadership who you feel would be interested;

4. Consider getting involved in and continue to learn about progress in project design, implementation and follow up monitoring & evaluation; and

5. Consider financial support from you, your foundation, your Club & District. I feel the more Rotarians, foundations, Clubs & Districts are aware & involved in this peace project the more likely we will succeed toward achieving our foundation peace mission here in the MENA region - one successful step at s time.

Thank you

Yours in Rotary Peace Service & Friendship

Mark
