It’s wonderful how the Peace Pole brings people together. Thanks for your positive response. At the grassroots level Peace In Partnership
(P.I.P.) has accomplished a lot since 1980. It’s meeting people like you & the Friends School that brings value to community outreach. I am grateful you are interested. The gardens are particularly beautiful in our East Lake Gardens neighborhood (2nd Ave & Glenwood Ave) until the summer heat when nature subsides.

“In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair.” Howard Thurman
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature – – the assurance that dawn comes after the night, and spring after winter.” Rachel Carson, Silent Spring
