Danville, IL (May 5, 2010) – The Danville Rotary Club is proud to announce that flag sales for its annual Rotary Memorial Way have begun. Flags may be purchased for $5 each in honor of a Veteran or a loved one and will be displayed along North Vermilion over Memorial Day weekend.
Rotary Memorial Way is a project that the Danville Rotary Club presents every year for Memorial Day weekend in support of the Vermilion County War Museum. The club sells American flags for $5 each. With their $5 sponsorship, patrons can dedicate the flag to anyone and their name will appear with the flag. The Club lines the flags along Vermilion Street, which is the main artery through Danville. The flags are placed on both sides of the street and stretch over 3 miles. Last year the club raised over $7500 with flag sales.
“Last year was awesome; I would like to see the sale of over 2000 flags this year. We feel that supporting the War Museum is our club’s way to honor and support those that have served their country. As a Veteran myself, its give me great pride to see all the flags along Vermilion Street. Its shows the support this community has for it’s past and present members of the armed forces”, declared Rotarian and Memorial Way Chairman, Scott Reed.
Sponsor forms are available at the War Museum or you may obtain one from a Rotary member or by calling: 217-431-0034. The sponsor form is also available on the club’s website at: danvillerotaryclub.org. (There is a link in the center of the page)
