The 2023 Wooster Rotary Parade of Flags kicks-off on Memorial Day weekend. Celebrate our country and our community by subscribing or renewing today!
Join your friends, neighbors and local businesses to show your patriotic pride and support community organizations. Click the link below to order your flag subscription. You’ll receive a flag on five holidays in 2023: Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Patriots’ Day and Veterans’ Day. The deadline for the first flag holiday is April 28th.
We are grateful for your support of this program and our community!
This year’s flag subscribers are helping to support community organizations like local 4-H groups, scout troops, youth athletic teams and many others that raise funds by helping place the flags. In addition, proceeds from the project are used to fund Veteran initiatives, civic projects, local school scholarships and Rotary International projects.
The Wooster Rotary Club, assisted by local community groups, places a 3’x 5’ flag in your front yard for 5 holidays per year, and pick it up again after the holiday. A plastic pipe is be buried in your front lawn permanently, flush with the ground, to hold the flagstaff. A cap covers the pipe when not in use. The City of Wooster has approved the flag to be placed on “tree lawns” where available. The flag and staff will remain the property of the Wooster Rotary Club.
The local community groups that help with placing the flags will receive $12.00 per each subscription. For $40.00 per calendar year, (not pro-rated by holiday) Rotary will provide and install the pipe and cap, provide the flag, store it properly when not in use, and deliver and pick up the flag for the following holidays:
- Memorial Day: Placed May 25-26, Picked-up June 1-2
- Flag Day (June 14): Placed June 10-11 Leave up through Independence Day
