Peter Yarrow
05 11, 2017 at 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm
One of history’s greatest musical figures is visiting Club 33 on May 11th. Peter Yarrow, from the famous trio Peter, Paul and Mary will sing to Rotary and introduce a song he wrote for Rotary’s immunization program. Now a social and political activist, he will also discuss several of the causes he is very passionate about, including world peace, anti-bullying and immunization.
Yarrow’s commitment to political and social causes is largely inextricable from his music career. He has organized, produced and performed at political and charitable events since the 1960s, including the 1969 March on Washington, D.C. and the National Mobilization Committee to End the War.
In 2000, Yarrow founded Operation Respect, a nonprofit organization that aims to reduce school violence by teaching children tolerance and respect for diversity. The organization developed the “Don’t Laugh at Me” program, which uses music and video to teach conflict resolution to elementary and middle school students, and is distributed at no cost to schools.
