The Rotary Club of Gettysburg will dedicate a Peace Pole at Gettysburg Recreation Park on Saturday, Oct. 17, at 11 a.m. The public is invited to attend.

The pole was donated to the club at a multi-district conference last April. The club describes it as a symbol of Rotary’s commitment to peace and international understanding.

“We intend this to be a public event,” said Chuck Elder, president of the Rotary Club of Gettysburg. “It should be a great opportunity to highlight the efforts of Rotary and our ongoing mission to promote peace in our community and around the world. All are welcome to attend.”

Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million members. The Rotary Club of Gettysburg is part of District 7390.
