Steven Youngblood, with the Parkville Rotary Club, wrote an opinion piece for The Kansas City Star about peacebuilding/Peace Day that features KC peacebuilding organizations, including a plug for Rotary.  The article mentions that Kansas City is fortunate to have numerous "rock star" peacebuilders and peacebuilding organizations.  "While it's understandable to be discouraged by the violence and discord around us, conversely, it's easy to be encouraged by the numerous peacebuilding efforts in Kansas City, and to be empowered by the knowledge that each of us can help make our world a more peaceful place," said Youngblood.
