The Parade of Flags is Wellington Kiwanis Club’s annual community service project. Each flag holiday, close to 300 flags proudly flying throughout Wellington show that the Spirit of ’76 is alive and well in our village.
Subscriptions to have a flag placed in your front yard for Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Patriot Day and Veteran’s Day are $30. All proceeds go towards our ongoing signature project – raising funds for community playground equipment.
Help create a community of red, white, and blue and join the parade of flags in your neighborhood.
Wellington Kiwanis will provide, install, remove and properly store the flag for the following holidays:
Memorial Day, Flag Day (6/14), Independence Day (7/4), Patriot Day (9/11), and Veterans Day (11/11)
$30.00 per calendar year – Your entire subscription donation supports Wellington playgrounds, as Kiwanis absorbs the cost of materials in its regular budget.
Where will the flag be placed in my yard? We will do our best to find the most visible place, 6 ft into your yard from either the sidewalk or from the tree lawn.
When will the flag be placed and removed? We will place and remove the flag approximately 1 to 3 days prior and after the holiday.
Already part of the way into the year, no problem. We can prorate your cost, $6 per holiday for the remainder of the year. Please give us 2 weeks prior to a holiday to process your paperwork.
The flagpole does not have a light. You may place a solar light at night if you wish or bring the flag in during the night while returning it the next morning.
For a business that does not have space to place a flag or a non-village resident, a flag will be placed for you in an array of flags in a highly visible location along West Herrick Ave.
Today, Thursday, Sept. 11, is Patriot Day. We honor and remember the nearly 3,000 victims from that horrific day 24 years ago when the United States was attacked.
