๐บ๐ธ Flags Over State Center Has Officially Taken Flight! ๐บ๐ธ
If you drove through town this Fourth of July weekend, you may have noticed the stunning sight of American flags proudly displayed in front yards throughout our community. โค๏ธ๐ค๐ That beautiful wave of patriotism? Thatโs the Flags Over State Center Program in action, launched by your very own State Center Lions Club! ๐ฆ
This program celebrates what we all hold dear: our love of country and our shared commitment to making our community stronger. It also helps raise funds that will directly benefit local causes right here in State Center.
With the help of Gina Bownโs signage talents and the groundwork from Wayne Larson and Chuck Ryherd, the first round of flags were planted just in time for Independence Day. Next up? Labor Day and Veterans Day โ and yes, you can still get in on it for this year!
๐ Hereโs how it works:
โ๏ธ Subscribe annually for just $50
โ๏ธ A Lions Club member places a flag in your yard before 5 key patriotic holidays
โ๏ธ Optional 6th display on Presidentโs Day if weather allows
โ๏ธ We handle the 811 call, install a flag holder, raise the flag, and store it until the next occasion
โ๏ธ You just sit back and enjoy the view of Old Glory flying high!
