The Fairfield Glade Rotary Club has sponsored a peace pole at the Cumberland County Community Complex.
A dedication was held at the complex on Sept. 25.
The pole is located in front of the main gate. It has the phrase “May Peace Prevail on Earth” written on it in English and several other languages, including ASL, Cherokee, Mandarin, French and Japanese. A braille plaque also contains the phrase.
Fairfield Glade Rotary Club President Mary Jane Ware said peacebuilding is one of the rotary’s areas of focus.
“The Fairfield Glade Rotary Club believes that if people work together to create peace locally, it’ll happen globally.” Ware said.
Cumberland County Mayor Allen Foster attended the event.
“I just want to say thank you for doing this. All the rotaries and especially Fairfield are just great. We really appreciate the time and the effort that you put into our community,” Foster said.
