Lions Club continues its flags over Hallettsville program

The Hallettsville Lions Club will once again be hosting its annual “Flags Over Hallettsville” program. This marks the fourth year for the project.

The program involves homeowners or businesses, who wish to purchase a subscription, to have a 3-foot by 5-foot American flag attached to a 10-foot pole displayed at their residence during specific holidays throughout the year.

The project involves Hallettsville Lions Club members placing a pole with the flag attached in the subscriber’s yard a few days before each of the assigned holidays. The flag and pole would be removed shortly after the holiday.

The cost for homeowners or businesses interested is the same as past years with a subscription for having a flag displayed at $40.

The four holidays included in the subscription are:

• President’s Day (Feb. 19)

• Memorial Day (May 27)

• Fourth of July

• Veteran’s Day (Nov. 11)

Deadline for orders is Wednesday, Jan. 31.

The flag subscription fees are applied to projects and services that benefit the Hallettsville community, with the proceeds enabling the Hallettsville Lions Club to fund a variety of health, humanitarian, and youth service programs throughout the local community as well as beyond the community.

The Lions Club is seeking homeowners or businesses who are interested in joining them in promoting our country with a display of flags on neighborhood yards throughout Hallettsville.

Regarding new subscribers, the subscription is limited to anyone residing in the City of Hallettsville or no further than two miles outside the city limits.

Previous orders will be honored, if renewed.
