Rotarians and community-minded citizens gathered recently to reveal the newest Rotary Club peace pole located at the Panaewa Rainforest Zoo and Gardens in Hilo.
During the unveiling, a horn tribute of “Amazing Grace” was performed by trumpeter Jeff Kaye of Los Angeles.
A peace pole is a hand-crafted monument that displays the message and prayer, “May Peace Prevail on Earth,” on four of its six sides, usually in different languages.
Rotary clubs have installed more than a dozen peace poles on the island.
