Rotarians, residents team up
to place peace pole in Wyndhurst
T
he Rotary Club of Forest and residents of The
Summit recently teamed up to place a Peace
Pole in Wyndhurst.
John Bates, a resident and member of the Rotary Club,
approached Executive Director Kristi Martin about
placing a Peace Pole inscribed with the inspiring
words “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in eight languages,
including English.
Martin helped Bates identify a parklet in the
community. The pole is stationed in the shade beside a
bench, allowing walkers or joggers on Enterprise Drive
a chance to cool off and reflect on the essence of peace.
“If we keep talking about peace, maybe people will pay
attention,” Bates said.
“If we keep talking about peace maybe people will listen.”
