The Rotary Clubs of Gwinnett, Lawrenceville, Duluth and Gwinnett Sunrise recently hosted a dedication ceremony for the Rotary International Peace Pole on the Lawrenceville Lawn. The peace pole highlights the Rotary Clubs’ united mission and purpose within the community.

“Lawrenceville is honored to have this Peace Pole in our city on behalf of the four Gwinnett Rotary Clubs involved,” said Mayor Judy Jordan Johnson. “The Peace Pole offers a universal message of peace for all people and promotes the city’s vision for being an inclusive community that celebrates the diverse and rich cultures that reside in Gwinnett and the Greater Atlanta area.”

Each peace pole bears the message, “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in the four most prevalent languages spoken in Gwinnett: English, Spanish, Korean, and Vietnamese.
