Rotary Club of Indianola Established a Peace Garden at McCord Park
World Peace is one the pillars of Rotary International.
By carrying out service projects and supporting peace fellowships and scholarships, our members take action to address the underlying causes of conflict, including poverty, discrimination, ethnic tension, lack of access to education, and unequal distribution of resources.
As a humanitarian organization, peace is a cornerstone of our mission. We believe when people work to create peace in their communities, that change can have a global effect.
To honor that legacy, Rotary Club of Indianola has established a Peace Garden at McCord Park. The Peace Garden is a place where individuals may visit to reflect on how they can become part of the solution in our own community.

President 2021-22
What a year it has been for Rotary.
You have lived up to every challenge, including to grow more, do more, and Rotary has grown in a way that we haven’t in many years. This year saw life-changing new projects across all areas of focus, as we took up important work at the highest level — with UNICEF, the Commonwealth, and global leaders. Our efforts opened opportunities to empower girls, improve the environment, and advance literacy and health.
I want to thank each of you for your proactive service. I also want to thank the wonderful Rotary staff for ensuring that we can work with care for our fellow human beings, with peace in our hearts.
