The Fillmore Peace Pole is in the last planning stages and is projected to be installed in the City Park in front of Fillmore City Hall by the September 21st International Day of Peace. The Soroptimist International of Fillmore and the Fillmore High School “S” Club are sponsoring the pole in order to have a permanent area in Fillmore to focus on the need for international and local peace. The Peace Pole will be seven sided and each side will be inscribed with “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in seven languages.

There is still an opportunity to donate toward the Peace Pole. Those persons or organizations donating $100 will be given the opportunity to have an inscription on a plaque at the base of the Peace Pole. If you are interested in donating toward this worthy project, please contact Sarah Hansen at 524-0132 or Oralia Herrera at magnoliares@sbcglobal.net.
