Dear Rotary Friends,
Please accept my heartfelt congratulations on launching a wonderful project - the International Life magazine.
I share your idea of supporting and highlighting cross-cultural programs of Rotarians all around the world. Collaboration of Rotarians from different nations promotes peace and better understanding among members of our world community. I congratulate you on this most important step, and I wish you the best of luck as you expand your mission of promoting cooperation and understanding between members of different social, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. This is a most meaningful and noble mission.
It is gratifying to know that the magazine website runs in five major languages. It will attract and widen the reader’s audience, providing them with a platform for the exchange of opinions, new ideas and programs of Rotary clubs around the world. Additionally, it will serve as an information source for the announcement of new projects for clubs and districts in the Rotary world.
May the best former experiences shown in the international lane of service of Rotary produce new momentum and reinforce the need for peace and prosperity! Positive endeavors, wherever and whenever accomplished reflect great credit upon the world Rotary movement. I encourage all my Rotary friends around the world to support your project as we learn about existing and new Rotary endeavors to help those in need in the four corners of the world.
Yours in Rotary service,

Jon J. Eiche, Past District Governor
U.S. National Coordinator for Intercountry Committees
President, U.S.-Russia Intercountry Committee
