Rotary Clubs celebrate International Day of Peace with the installation of two billboards along I-75

Rotary club members from the Byron, Centerville, Perry and Warner Robins clubs came together on Monday to unveil two recently installed billboards with the message “Believe There is Good in the World.”

The four area clubs collaborated on the billboard project to celebrate International Day of Peace. Area Rotary Assistant Governor Felix Smith was there for the celebration and said, “In today’s environment of COVID-19 and dissentious politics, societies are splintering as forces of division are driving people in different directions. The message reminds us that no matter how dire our personal, national, or global problems seem, there is good that lives around us.”

Warner Robins Rotary Club President Steve Williams said their club made the decision to become involved in the project to highlight the unity, diversity, inclusion and equity within the Rotary community in our area. “It is during times like we are currently experiencing, that we must promote unity and peace to everyone regardless of race, creed, religion, gender or culture.”

Byron Club President Billy Johnson was there representing his club and said it was an honor to be part of sharing this positive message to the millions of people that travel through our communities. “As Rotarians, we are encouraged to find ways to improve the quality of life for people in our communities and to serve the public interest. I think the message on the billboard does just that by bringing hope, encouraging thought and maybe a smile to those who see it.”

The two billboards are located just off the Perry exit on I-75 and can be seen driving north and south.
