It was Rotarian James Wheeler Davidson in 1928-29 spread Rotary throughout the Middle East. Let us honor his achievement with a concerted Rotary inititive in this same region at this time of need. The recent events in the Middle East, where Rotary thrives, have given the youth of Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan a powerful voice, calling for freedom, democracy and empowerment. Rotary has the youth oriented infrastructure and tools via our Clubs and RYLA Interact and Rotaract programs to channel the energy of the youth in the countries to express their commitment to service, fellowship and shared values. While the Peace Forum in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt organized by District 2450 representing a large block of the Arab world was cancelled, I call on Rotarians from this District and District 2490 (Israel) to join hands to develop a super-regional, multi-district RYLA, Interact and Rotaract strategy of Rotarian service and fellowship activities to listen and understand and take action through Rotary to promote peace, understanding, goodwill, fellowship and service at this critical time in our region.
