Dear Robert,
I'm reaching out to personally invite you to the 5th Annual Peace Week, hosted by Partnering for Peace—and I hope you'll join us!
Why I'm excited about this:
As a Board Member with Partnering for Peace, I've seen firsthand what happens when Rotary International and the United States Peace Corps work together. By combining Rotary's organizational capacity and resources with Peace Corps' grassroots expertise and cultural competency, we create projects with greater, more sustainable impact.
This week celebrates and strengthens that 60+ year partnership through real stories and practical examples.
