Symbol of world peace has home in Warren
WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) – A symbol aimed at spreading world peace now has a permanent home in downtown Warren.
The Warren Rotary Club unveiled its Peace Pole during a special ceremony Wednesday. It includes the message 'May Peace Prevail on Earth' in several different languages.
The goal is to encourage people to think, talk, and take steps towards world peace.
The Peace Pole is planted near the fountain on Courthouse Square.
'We think there's so much beauty in the downtown area, and we wanted to bring to that something more for people to come here and be able to sit and talk,' said Cindy Matheson, president of the Warren Rotary Club.
The Warren Rotary Club says there are about 250,000 Peace Poles around the world.
