MIDDLEBORO — The public is invited to the dedication of a Peace Pole at noon by the Middleboro Rotary Club on Saturday, Nov. 23 at Pierce Playground, 26 Jackson St.

This is the second pole installation the Rotary Club has sponsored. The first pole was placed at the Middleboro Unitarian Universalist Church, 25 South Main St.

The pole bears the message “May Peace Prevail on Earth’’ in multiple languages, including Braille and sign.

Club members report that the pole’s message promotes unity, encourages reflection, celebrates cultural diversity and serves as a reminder to think, speak and act in the spirit of peace and harmony.
