Rotary’s past District Governor Steve Laine got a shoutout from present 6930 District Governor Douglas Heizer for planting the seeds of the idea. And on April 6, Heizer thanked Palm Beach County Commissioner Marci Woodward and county Parks and Recreation staff for making it happen.

Heizer and Woodward unveiled a new peace pole near the butterfly garden in front of Daggerwing Nature Center, named for the butterfly species. Rotary Club Boca Raton West, Heizer’s home club, inspired the new placement.
Who could ever forget The Wick’s very first Broadway show, “The Sound of Music,” at the newly rescued theater in September 2013. Executive managing producer and owner Marilynn Wick admitted she had never produced a show.
Club president Angelica Blakely called the 40-acre nature preserve in west Boca’s South County Regional Park the perfect habitat for a pole that has become an international symbol.
