FLY A FLAG ON SPECIAL OCCASSIONS
Some may have noticed their Norchester neighbors with flags out around certain occasions. You can do it yourself - or through a program that benefits the Cypress Creek High School. The ‘Flags With Pride’ is a fund raising project of the Cypress Creek Athletic Booster Club. The flags are put out for a week for the following commemorative events:
• VETERAN’S DAY
• PRESIDENTS’ DAY
• MEMORIAL DAY
• INDEPENDENCE DAY
• LABOR DAY
• PATRIOT DAY
The Booster Club provides the flags in their program. They are placed in your yard at the beginning of the appropriate period, and then picked up at the end. The flags are kept offsite when not on display.
This is done on a yearly subscription basis. The cost is $41 per year. For more complete information, and payment details, go to https://cycreekabc.com/flag-fundraiser and click on the link to sign up online .
