What's a Peace Pole? A Peace Pole is a powerful symbol of unity and hope. It carries a message of peace in multiple languages, serving as a constant reminder of our shared commitment to a harmonious world. It's a visible statement that speaks to all who see it.

Why Does It Matter? Peace is something we all long for, and this project is our way of making a difference. Each Peace Pole will be strategically placed in locations of significance, amplifying its message and fostering a culture of understanding.

How Can You Get Involved? This project is open to everyone. Rotary clubs in our district can lead the way in creating these Peace Poles, and grants are available to support them. It's on a "first come, first served" basis, so act now to bring peace to your community.

Save the Date In January 2024, we'll come together to dedicate all eight Peace Poles during the visit of RIP Gordon McInally, making history and spreading peace.

Join us in this transformative initiative. let's create a more peaceful world, one Peace Pole at a time. Your action today can shape a more peaceful tomorrow. Together, let's make it happen!

I first met Michele when our club gave the toys we gathered through the donations of Hillary’s customers.  Thanks to all who donated to the Rotary Elf Box!  You made many kids with cancer happy. 
 

After a short tour of the KCF facility, I was amazed by Michele’s positive energy, tenacity, and good vibes.  The foundation hosts many activities, but one of my favorite ones is the “Kid’s Night Out.”  The next event will be held on Feb. 3, between 5:30 – 7:00 PM at the KCF center.  Volunteers are welcome to make this night memorable for the kids they support.  The only requirement is that you are not feeling sick and are passionate about making these kids smile.  For those who wish to volunteer, please get in touch with any of the RPB Rotary members or contact the KCF center directly (561-333-8116).

RPB Rotary will collaborate with KCF and Michele to help this great cause!  So, starting this Jan. 24, from 5:30 PM, at Common’s Park (Near the Playground), RPB Rotary is launching the “Grill for a Cause” fundraising drive.  Part of the drive’s proceeds will go to KCF and other RPB Rotary projects.  We hope to see you there and support our local superheroes like Michele!
