WAILUKU--The Rotary Club of Kihei Wailea and the Rotary Satellite Club of Kihei Wailea will host a special Peace Pole Dedication Ceremony on Sept. 21, 2024, at 9 a.m.
This event marks a significant milestone as it will be the first joint project between the Rotary Club of Kihei Wailea and the Rotary Satellite Club of Kihei Wailea. The public is warmly invited to attend this meaningful occasion at South Maui Gardens, 35 Auhana Rd, Kihei.
The ceremony will feature a traditional Hawaiian blessing led by the esteemed Kimokeo Kapahulehua, honoring the peace pole and its message of global unity. Peace poles are international symbols of peace and hope, created to promote the vision of a world without conflict.

In addition to the blessing, President of the Rotary Club of Kihei Wailea, Jay Satenstein, will speak about the history and significance of peace poles, highlighting their role in fostering peace and community spirit. This event represents a commitment to these values by the Rotary clubs and serves as an invitation to the community to embrace and promote peace.
