This week's Peacebuilder Committee update:
Peace Poles:
BBRC is partnering with other local Rotary Clubs in sponsoring a Peace Pole at the Fort in Taft during Kern YES! The Peace Pole will be unveiled April 2.
Ukraine:
Rotary International and District 5240 have sent out appeals for monetary aid for the Ukraine refugee crisis. It would be wonderful for her to know that BBRC cares and has stepped up to help! Several members of the club have already donated to the District and RI. We know Rotary makes sure any funds have maximum impact with the refugees through local clubs. Information about RI's activities for the Ukrainian refugees and a link to donate is at this link: https://www.rotary.org/en/rotary-foundation-creates-channel-direct-humanitarian-support-ukraine-region
