The Rotary Club of Wellington along with the Village of Wellington presented the Wellington World Peace Ceremony on Sunday, September 24th at 3pm. Awards were presented to local students for their efforts in an elementary school peace poster competition, a middle school peace poetry contest and a high school peace essay contest. A SMART (Student Motivational Award for Resolutions Today) award was presented to Kirsten Beritiz of Wellington High School. The Community Peace Award was awarded to PBC State Attorney Dave Aronberg. Al Johnson filled in for Aronberg and received the award. The ceremony ended, as always, with the release of peace doves with Dr. Wes Boughner releasing the doves into the air.
