Hawthorne Blvd. Business Association
By Nancy Chapin
The newly organized non-profit Sustainable Southeast Community Coalition (S2C2) hosted a gathering September 21 at SE 50th Ave. and Hawthorne Blvd. to honor the United Nations International Day of Peace. It was a very special event with Ukrainian singers and musicians, tables with information about our local neighborhood associations (members of the S2C2 Coalition), community organizations and several speakers taking part and supporting the event.
The history of the Peace Poles moving from the former Hawthorne Hostel to their current location at the gateway to Mt. Tabor Neighborhood Association was shared, along with inspiring words from the United Nations’ national and local representatives. Further details can be found at hawthorneblvd.com/peacepoles22. Watch for next year’s event on September 21, 2023.
