The annual Parade of Flags is Wellington Kiwanis Club’s newest community service project and now underway. New this year is placing individual sponsored flags on Duke Pride Hill on the north side of the Wellington underpass on North Main Street, also known as O’Keefe Way for former mayor Barb O’Keefe.
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. We are still taking subscriptions to have flags placed in front yards for the next four holidays, Flag Day, Independence Day, Patriot Day, and Veterans’ Day. The cost will be prorated at $24, but we will gladly accept the full donation of $30 for the year. All proceeds go towards our new 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 – All profits support Wellington playgrounds.
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, a flag will be placed for you at Union Park. If you would like a recognition sign, the fee will be $30 for a 18”x 24”. We estimate that these signs will last approximately 2 years.
Monday, Nov. 11 is Veterans Day. We observe this federal holiday on Nov. 11 because major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. It was originally known as Armistice Day but was changed in 1954 to Veterans Day. So, 2024 marks the 70th anniversary of Veterans Day. We thank Councilman Gary and Tracey Feron, who sponsored the 20 flags in front of the Town Hall, Mayor Hans Schneider at Union School Park, and American Legion Post 8, for the Vietnam Memorial. All told, we have about 200 flags waving throughout the village this weekend to honor our veterans. This culminates The Wellington Kiwanis Club’s fourth Parde of Flags. All proceeds from this fund-raising campaign will go toward playground equipment at Union School Park. Development of the park is under the auspices of the Village. With the support of the community, Kiwanis has raised $61,924000 towards playground equipment. The $1,924 represents our 100th anniversary serving the youth of Wellington. ... See MoreSee Less
I love the display for Veterans day, my husband serviced 23 years, can't tell you a display of flags means to vets, it is their pride to stand with the flag, God bless them all and Wellington for showing the love!!
Join Wellington Kiwanis for a special evening meeting with guest speaker Fred Greetham who will share stories from his career covering the Cleveland Browns.
Past Kiwanis President and President Elect, Terry Mazzone, shares that "Greetham, a Wellington resident, is one of the longest tenured beat reporters covering the Browns, starting in 1982. He left for seven years to teach and coach in Arizona and returned in 1989 to be the editor of Browns News/Illustrated until 1995 when the team moved to Baltimore. He covered the team when it returned in 1999 for Clevelandbrowns.com and then to Fox Sports Ohio/The Orange and Brown Report in 2002 and has been there since."
This lively meeting is perfect for anyone who loves the Browns and/or wants to meet Kiwanians and learn how we serve the community.
Kindly RSVP to help us plan for refreshments. ... See MoreSee Less
