HOW TO ENDORSE A ROTARY
PEACE FELLOW CANDIDATE
Carol Fellows, chair
of her district’s Rotary
Peace Fellowships
subcommittee, has
met many promising
peacemakers.
“There is no greater need
in our world than for
people who work for true peace with
justice,” says Fellows, whose District 5110
covers parts of California and Oregon, USA.
She and her husband, Tim Bewley, are
Arch Klumph Society members, and
designate their giving to support
fellowships to the Rotary Peace Centers.
“It has been a treasure and delight to
identify and lift up for consideration
potential fellows,” she says.
Each year, The Rotary Foundation
awards up to 50 fellowships for master’s
degrees and 50 for certificate studies at
premier universities around the world.
By endorsing a peace fellow candidate,
your club or district stands to benefit, too.
“The lives of our club and committee
members are changed from the experience
of meeting these incredible individuals
and following their careers,” says Fellows.
You can endorse a candidate by
following these simple steps:
