    Waterton-Glacier Peace Park Assembly:
    This year the Assembly will be hosted by the Rotary Club of Kalispell at Glacier Park Lodge in East Glacier, Montana, September 20 - 22, 2002. On June 10, 1932, through the efforts of Rotarians in Alberta and Montana, Glacier National Park in Montana and Waterton National Park in Alberta were united to form the Waterton-Glacier Peace Park, recognizing the peace and harmony that exists between our two countries. The Rotary Peace Park Assembly, held alternately in Canada and the United States, represents a rededication to those principles of friendship, fellowship and concern which bind us as international neighbors.
