Peace Pole Unveiling at Aintree (Woodlea) Rotary Caroline Springs, together with our wonderful local community groups, celebrated the unveiling of two Peace Pole in Aintree (Woodlea).
Peace Poles stand as silent sentinels of reminders of and for peace.
Thank you Deanside Primary School for this appreciation. It certainly is nice to be recognised. We are more than happy to volunteer each and every Friday during school term to assist with your breakfast program to give some nourishment to the 100 plus kids. It brings joy to our hearts. Keep up the amazing work you do as educators.

The oldest and most recognized symbol of Rotary by non-Rotarians globally, is undoubtedly the Rotary wheel. Its creation dates from 1905 when the first Rotary club was created in Chicago, USA.
The wheel was said to illustrate "Civilization, Movement and Service work in action."
Most of the early clubs had some form of wagon wheel on their publications and letterheadsm, but in 1922, it was decided that all Rotary clubs should adopt a single design as the exclusive emblem of Rotarians.
The design has evolved since then, with the most recent changes to form the current golden wheel, finalised in August 2013.
The 24 teeth represent the 24 hours of the day, and the time that each Rotarian should reflect Rotary in action and thought.
The six rays represent the essential qualities of a Rotarian in relation to their family, community, friendship, profession, religious tolerance, and the Rotary institution.
The golden colour represents the nobility and legitimacy of Rotary purposes.
