A Peace Pole is a monument that displays the message May Peace Prevail On Earth in the language of the country where it is placed. It usually displays 3 to 7 additional languages meaningful to the host site: VILLAGE HALL: English, Korean, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, Spanish, Urdu, Mongolian, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Farsi-Persian, Swahili Vietnamese CHAMBER: Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Farsi-Persian, Swahili Vietnamese. The message is referred to as an affirmation of peace and its placement furthers Rotary's goal of building a culture of peace throughout the world. Peace Poles are intended to inspire unity among people of all cultures, ethnicities, and backgrounds. We recommend a Peace Pole ceremony to accompany the planting of each pole and this ceremony can be held annually. Many prefer the International Day of Peace, September 21, for such an occasion. The message May Peace Prevail On Earth was authored by the late Masahisa Goi of Japan after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is now an international message of peace with over 250,000 Peace Poles in every country in the world, dedicated as monuments to peace. Join Us this Tuesday After Lunch Meeting at... Our club has committed to Peace Poles in Northbrook, with the first one going up at Northbrook Bank & Trust, on Waukegan & Shermer to celebrate their 25th Anniversary, there is another going up on Walters and First (Shermer) at the Northbrook Chamber later this month. Donna Lee has been a catalyst for propelling this project forward, meeting with the Community Commission. Our goal is to celebrate the Global Day of Peace on September 21st at Noon all time zones. More to come on that. >>> Photo of Village dedication last week! |
