The Rotary International theme for 2012-2013 is
Peace Through Service
"The advancement of international understanding,
goodwill, and peace is one of the cornerstones of the
Rotary movement. With Rotary’s active presence in
more than 200 countries and geographical areas, our
organization has established itself as a world leader in
fostering Peace Through Service. We have accomplished
a great deal in this area throughout our history, but we
must continue to look forward and recognize that the
future of Rotary and the future prospects for world
peace rest with today’s youth. To ensure a lasting
legacy in this arena, we must engage young people in a
meaningful way and empower them to carry Rotary’s
peace-building efforts into the future."
