The generosity and goodwill of Hattiesburg continues into our second day hereat the Hattiesburg Rotary Annual Prayer Breakfast. The buffet was plentiful and the company was inspiring.
All Rotarians took a moment to hold the torch and offer a prayer for peace.
Rotarian's live a life of service above self and a deep commitment to giving back to the community, both locally and around the world. Peace Run is always grateful to share their company and enjoy their excellent values and integrity.
Thank you to Mark and Charlotte. And to William Carey President Dr. Ben Burnett. Your high values and standard of excellence are to be admired and respected.

The Longleaf Trace Rails-to-Trails path is an excellent choice.
