The month of February is special in the Rotary calendar since it is designated World Understanding Month.  The month also includes the anniversary of the first meeting of Rotary held 23 February 1905, now designated World Understanding and Peace Day.  World Understanding Month is a chance for every club to pause, plan and promote the fourth Avenue of Service -- Rotary's continued quest for goodwill, peace and understanding among people of the world.

International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding and peace. Rotary clubs can support International Service by sponsoring a project in another country, seeking international project partners to support projects in their own communities, or by personally volunteering at an international project site.
