The American flag is a nationally-recognized unifying symbol, so the Club chose this as its newest community project in the hopes the all-day display of more than 300 flags will foster unity, hope, and patriotism among individuals from all walks of life.
On seven occasions throughout the year, Rotarians head out to Main Street in downtown Hendersonville and reverently place 3-feet-tall American flags in the planter boxes along six city blocks.
The dates of placement are: Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Flag Day, Election Day, Patriot’s Day (9/11), and Veterans Day.
