b'Bill Bassett shares his goals for his year as District Governor, which will start July 1, 2012, and describes the intense training that Rotary provides for district governors. He plans to focus on supporting local literacy projects. The district exists to support its more than 60 clubs; these know the needs of their communities and meet them through local humanitarian projects. District clubs also can join with each other and with clubs around the world to facilitate major global projects, such as polio eradication, that save lives and improve the quality of life. Mr. Bassett discusses Rotary International\\u2019s theme this year of \\u201cPeace through Service\\u201d and, in light of this, Rotary\\u2019s Peace Fellowship program, an all-expense-paid program that provides a master\\u2019s degree or certification in Peace and Conflict Resolution at one of several Peace Centers around the world.\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/radiorotary/support'
