Conférence "La Paix est Possible"
Cannes, 28 et 29 Mars 2008

" On 27 March, it was off to Cannes for an intercountry committee meeting focused on the theme of Peace Is Possible. This successful event, held in the famed convention center where the annual Cannes Film Festival takes place, brought together nearly 900 Rotarians, including past RI presidents Carlo Ravizza and Carl-Wilhelm Stenhammar; RI directors Kjell-Åke Åkesson, Gordon McInally, Raffaele Pallotta d’Acquapendente, and Bernard Rosen; and RI Director-elect Catherine Noyer-Riveau. The organization of this event, under the capable direction of Past RI Vice President Serge Gouteyron and past district governors Barnard Attard and Lucien Barth, was fantastic!

The presenters, who included Dr. David Heyman from the World Health Organization, Ann-Belinda Preis from UNESCO, and Dr. Alain Bentolila, were all excellent. The Rotarians also did an impressive job as they suggested ways Rotary could make peace possible in the world. The weather was wonderful, the fellowship excellent, and the objectives of the intercountry committee were key to the event’s success, particularly the creation of a new committee between France and India and the promise of one between Russia and the United States."
