Rotary Peace Fellow, Ross Wood, featured on Cathy Lewis' HearSay program

I am delighted to let you know you have the opportunity on Thursday September 11 at 12 noon to tune in to WHRV 89.5 to hear a special interview with one of the most engaging speakers the Rotary Club of Norfolk has ever had –Ross Wood, Rotary District 7600’s new Peace Fellow. Ross, 28, spoke to our Rotary Club recently about the 18 months he just finished running a South Sudan refugee camp for 70,000 people. He worked for Samaritan’s Purse helping refugees from Sudan have food, fresh water and hope for the future.

Thanks to your donations to The Rotary Foundation, Ross will head tomorrow tothe University of Bradford in West Yorkshire, England to study for a Master of Arts degree in Conflict Resolution. Ross, a graduate of Maury High School and the University of Mary Washington, will represent all Rotarians in our district. The Rotary Club of Norfolk is Ross’ sponsoring club, and he is our first Peace Fellow.

As you know September 11 is a special day in our country. Listening toRoss’ 30-minute interview with host Cathy Lewis (spouse of Rotarian Win Lewis) on that day will be time well spent.
