GREENSBORO, Ga. — Georgia Rotarians gathered at Rotary Peace Poles across the state on Sept. 21, to recognize the International Day of Peace. 

Rotarians are people of action and will come together to promote peace and social justice using the Peace Pole and the Four Way Test of things Rotarians think, say or do: 1. Is it the TRUTH; 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned; 3. Will it build GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS; and 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?  

A Peace Pole is an internationally recognized symbol of the hopes and dreams of the entire human family, standing vigil in silent prayer for peace on earth. Each Peace Pole bears the message May Peace Prevail on Earth in different languages on each of its four sides. There are tens of thousands of Peace Poles in nearly every country in the world dedicated as monuments to peace.
