Kiwanis Club launches flag project
TRAVERSE CITY – There is nothing more inspiring than a field of American flags displayed for a holiday to make one feel patriotic.
The Kiwanis Club of Traverse City is embarking on a new fundraising project to underwrite its mission to serve children and the community throughout the region.
The Kiwanis Flag Project has launched by approaching community businesses to subscribe to having a flag displayed in specific locations during four national holidays during the late spring and summer months.
“We have had a great response from area business in subscribing to our flag project,” said Liz Sayre-King, president of the Kiwanis Club of Traverse City.
“Each subscription sponsors a flag to be displayed on Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day. Kiwanians do all the setup, storage and maintenance of the flags … the businesses just subscribe.”
