Asheville Breakfast Rotary Club Installs International Peace Pole at the Center for Honeybee Research
Members of Asheville Breakfast Rotary Club recently gathered to install and commemorate an international Peace Pole at the Center for Honeybee Research in Asheville. The Peace Pole displays the message “May Peace Prevail on Earth,” which is written in several languages on the pole, including English. The installation of peace poles has been a project of Rotary International for more than seven years. The concept was derived from the installation of the Peace Poles that appeared in Japan in 1955, shortly after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Peace Poles are designed to inspire unity among people of all cultures, ethnicities and backgrounds. This affirmation of peace aligns with Rotary’s goal of building a culture of peace throughout the world.
