A long-planned peace project finally came to life when local Rotary clubs gathered at El Roble Intermediate School this week for a group photo promoting Rotary International’s “Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution” area of focus. The idea originated before the COVID-19 pandemic, but was postponed as members — many in higher-risk age groups — stayed home during the outbreak. Claremont Sunrise Rotary coordinated with other area clubs to hold the event on the same day as a joint club social, combining fellowship with a message of peace. Courier photo/Peter Weinberger
