There are 5 major patriotic days per year where we celebrate and display our American flag in tribute to what those days represent. They are Flag Day, Independence Day (4th 0f July), Constitution Day, Memorial Day, and Veterans Day.  It’s also an opportunity to juxtapose our patriotic support for helping to fund local and national charities. This is why and how a number of
Rotary Clubs throughout the country, soon to include the Alton Centennial Rotary Club, will be engaged in a program selling American flags for public display to raise money for community needs.
There are 5 major patriotic days per year where we celebrate and display our American flag in tribute to what those days represent. They are: Flag Day, Independence Day (4th 0f July), Constitution Day, Memorial Day, and Veterans Day.  It’s also an opportunity to juxtapose our patriotic support for helping to fund local and national charities. This is why and how a number of
Rotary Clubs throughout the country, soon to include the Alton Centennial Rotary club, will be engaged in a program selling American flags for public display to raise money for community needs. At Alton’s Rotary club weekly Zoom meeting last Thursday, Dec. 10, members heard guest speaker George Mobley, from the Henniker Rotary Club talk about how his club adopted the
‘Flags for Charity’ program. It’s a simple case of selling a buyer on the idea of displaying an American flag on their property, that Rotarians will install, and store after each use, for a yearly cost of only $50.00. The first year Henniker engaged in the program, they sold 205 flags. “We’re excited we’ll be doing the same thing here in Alton, Barnstead, and New Durham in 2021 “, said Alton Rotary President Bob Regan. The Flag size is: 3’ x 5’ and stands 10’ tall. If interested and would like to subscribe to participate, contact: Chair of the “Flags for Charity “ program, Rotarian Rhys Stucker at: hrstucker@tds.net
 
Alton Rotary will install your flag every one of the 5 selected days, on your property, remove them  5-7 days after the holiday and store your flag until the next display date for a single annual fee of $50.00.
