Community Flag Project

The Raymond Area Rotary Club would like you to join us in our annual Community Flag Project to promote patriotism and to raise funds for charitable causes. Join our friends and neighbors in a patriotic display of American flags! For a modest annual fee, the Rotary Club will display the American made flag in your front yard - or at your business - on the five most patriotic days of the year:

Memorial Day May 29th
Flag Day June 14th
Independence Day July 4th
Labor Day September 4th
Veterans Day November 11th

Here’s how it works: Prior to Memorial Day weekend, a Rotary Club member will place a flag holder in the ground on your property. We will set up a 3’x5’ American-made American flag on a 9’ pole into the ground stake. The flag will be displayed on each holiday for around five days. It will then installed prior to each holiday and stored until the next holiday. Our flags are American made and supplied by a NH company. Note: This year we are offering the option of the flag remaining in place for the whole season!

The annual subscription fee is $50. The funds raised from this project will be used to help fund our community projects and some international projects with a strong focus on supporting youth and families.

In 2023, we are going to focus on the five communities of Raymond, Candia, Deerfield, Nottingham, and Epping.
