Rotary- Flags for our Veterans Project

On Friday May 27th at 8:00 a.m., the Legion Post 26 needs our help placing the American Flag on the grave sites of over 1,500 Veterans in St. Joseph's cemetery on West Street in Biddeford.  They aren't able to do this project on their own and greatly appreciate our efforts.  Our club has been helping with this project since I joined Rotary over 11years ago.  It usually takes us less than 2 hours to place the flags-less time if we have an abundance of hands!  The members of the Legion will do a walk-through of the cemetery afterwards to make sure nobody was missed.  This is a great opportunity to spend some quality time with your fellow Rotarians & also get a little exercise.  Wear some good walking shoes. We can’t place the flags prior to this time because it interferes with the cemetery grounds crew who are diligently working to spruce up the area before Memorial Day.

 

Please check your calendars ahead of time.  Although I will be unable to attend this week’s meeting, there will be a sign-up sheet circulating.  If you don't sign up ahead and find that you have some time to spare (even 1/2 an hour) please come and join us.  Rain or Shine…our help is needed. Bring your friends, family and co-workers-everyone is welcome to join in this great community and fellowship event! 

 

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

 

Thank you in advance for your consideration!

 

Yours in Rotary Service,

Julie
