It was during our Sunup Time meeting last week that our members participated in a hands-on project of assembling Amerian flags, which our club is donating to the American Legion. These are flags our club purchased years ago in conjunction with a joint community service project with the Boy Scouts. That project had begun strong, but eventually fizzled out, leaving our club with about 80 flags, which have been taking up space in our storage unit ever since. In talking with the American Legion, our Community Service Committee found that their organizatio would like to have a number of those flags. Therefore, our meeting last Wednesday became a flags assembly day. Hats off to Dr, Gus Bergman, who excelled as our Chief Sticker Man, getting our a Sunup Rotary sticker affisxed to each flagpole, identifying the source of the donated flag.
Past President Christy Manning directed the unsheathing of the flagpoles from the plastic tube in which they had been shipped. All of this led to the discovery of unknown skills (or lack thereof) of our club members, while enjoyiong some great Rotary fellowship.
