News report about Peace Pole dedication on the green in Hudson's Public Square (park on Warren and Seventh St.). The pole was a donation from the Hudson Rotary Club, and now designates Hudson as a City of Peace. The audio includes comments from Kieran Riley, Mike Howard (President of the Rotary Club and also a local attorney), Jeevan Goff (of Lotus Energy, and also a Rotary Club member), and Kristianna Abel. Hudson Mayor William Hallenbeck and the Rotary's Howard dedicated the pole, and their comments take up the last five minutes of audio. Friday, September 21, is International Day of Peace (http://www.internationaldayofpeace.org/). There was a crowd of roughly 20 people present for the dedication, including some local peace activists, rotary members, Rabbi David Fried, and Linda Mussmann of Time-Space Limited.
