Parkville Rotary Celebrates National Police Week with flags at City Hall

Fly the Flag Program
Parkville Rotarians,
Flag deployment starts soon, and we always welcome new volunteers to help put flags out. Here are a few facts about the deployment operation to let you know what all is involved.
We put flags out 4 times per year, and we pick up those same flags 4 times per year. They are left in the customer’s yard for 7 to 10 days, around the 4 major holidays. Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and Veterans Day.
Our primary storage location is Meyer’s Funeral Home in Parkville. Volunteers are given a route that is computer generated and covers a specific geographic area following a logical route. Some teams are solo, others are 2 or more people. Each route takes about 2 hours to complete.
We currently have about 400 active flag subscriptions. We always welcome new volunteers. New recruits are paired with a veteran team at first. Also, if you can agree to be a sub, that is very helpful as there is always holes to fill during vacation season. Also, it is also OK to ask a friend or neighbor to participate.
If you have not yet signed up, please consider it, and contact me!

Greater Kansas City Day
Greater Kansas City Day is when our community works together for one unifying cause: to give the disabled and disadvantaged youth of our great city a chance to have a normal camping experience—one that would otherwise be impossible at other camps.
