DG Damon Donnell's February 2026 Newsletter 

Fellow Rotarians, 

February reminds us that Rotary’s impact reaches far beyond our local communities. This month’s Rotary theme—Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention—calls us to be intentional about building understanding, stability, and hope through service. Every project we support and every dollar we give helps address the root causes of conflict and create lasting change.
