FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 14, 2021 (Camden, Maine) – The Camden Rotary Club is pleased to announce that it is the first Rotary Club in New England to charter as a “Peacebuilder Club.” This distinction reflects the Camden Rotary’s Club commitment to engage in peace projects and initiatives that create infrastructures for peace within our local community. The Camden Rotary Club is only one of 220 clubs worldwide that have been recognized by Rotary International for its commitment to peace.
For its first community peace initiative, the Camden Rotary Club invites the general public to a special program it will host on Tuesday, January 19, at noon. This program will take place the day before the U.S. Presidential Inauguration. Steve Becton, Chief Officer of Equity and Inclusion for Facing History and Ourselves, will speak about “courageous conversations”: what they are and why our community should consider engaging in them.
