69萝莉 and the Saratoga Rotary Club invite you to a special Peace Pole Dedication Ceremony on November 7, 2025.
The simple white, four-sided pole bears the universal message 鈥淢ay Peace Prevail on Earth,鈥� inscribed in multiple languages representing the diverse cultures and voices that make up our community. Similar peace poles stand in more than 250,000 locations worldwide 鈥� from the United Nations headquarters in New York to mountaintops in Nepal 鈥� as symbols of hope, connection, and unity.
This meaningful event will include brief remarks from campus and community leaders, a moment of reflection, and the unveiling of West Valley鈥檚 new peace pole 鈥� a shared commitment to peace, inclusion, and understanding.
鈥淧lacing a peace pole at the heart of our campus serves as an empowering daily reminder to embrace and celebrate what unites us 鈥� our shared humanity and a universal wish for peace,鈥� said Andrea Vizenor, West Valley鈥檚 Vice President of Strategy and Equity.
The Peace Pole Project began as a grassroots movement in Japan following World War II and has since become a global tradition, bringing together people of all faiths, backgrounds, and cultures to celebrate the oneness of our planetary family.
All are welcome to attend. Join us as we dedicate a lasting symbol of peace and unity at 69萝莉.
