Giving Peace MORE Than Just a Chance
Wilshire Rotary is thrilled to have Lauren Schlau step into the role as Peace Chair for the 2026-2027 year. Lauren has been leading a brand new Peace Committee with members Lyndsie Zacheis, Angelica Tolentino, Rae Jin, and Joyce Kleifield. Thanks to Lauren and the Committee's efforts, we are proud to share how Wilshire Rotary is now recognized as a “Peace Builder Club” through Rotary International.
The goals of the Peace Committee are to help club members understand what peace-building does and can look like via education and information, organize activities for members to engage in actual peace building, and the celebrate accomplishments while assessing how peace building has impacted our club and members.
More to come from Lauren and from all our committees!
