EXPLANATION: The Village has partnered with the Wellington Rotary Club and Eagle Scout Troop 777 to present Wellington’s Flags of Wellington display. Beginning on May 10th and continuing through June 14th, the grassy field behind the Patriot Memorial along Forest Hill Boulevard will be transformed into a sea of American Flags. The Rotary’s goal is to display over 100, 3’ x 5’ American flags to commemorate service members and loved ones. Flags can be purchased online beginning on April 9th at <https://www.zeffy.com/ticketing/flags-of-wellington>. The cost per flag is $75.00 and will include an ID tag bearing the name of the individual being honored. Flags will be assembled by the Eagle Scouts and installed by the Village.
All proceeds will benefit the Rotary Club of Wellington Foundation, a registered 501©(3) organization that supports a variety of community initiatives including education, youth service and leadership programs, at-risk teen support, essentials for children in need, assistance for veterans and first responders, resident aid programs, and meals and holiday gifts for homeless families.
