Holidays We Display Flags

  • Memorial Day (last Monday of May)
  • Flag Day (June 14)
  • Independence Day (July 4)

Flag Schedule

Flags are typically put out 1-3 days prior to the holiday and picked up 1-3 days after.   In the event of rain, we must wait until the flags are dry before picking them up.  For holidays close to each other on the calendar (Memorial Day and Flag Day; Labor Day and Patriot Day), flags stay up between the holidays.

Flags are installed and picked up by both Rotary members and other community groups, all volunteers over the course of a few days.  So please be patient with us.

The flag lease program is based on a calendar year basis and leases expire on December 31. Renewals are accepted in the spring of each year.

 

How It Works

When you lease a flag from the Melissa Rotary Club: 

  1. Near the next upcoming patriotic holiday, one of our volunteers will be prepare the spot for your flag by installing a PVC sleeve in the ground, at ground level, approximately 15" from your front sidewalk or curb, and we'll mark the curb. There are NO brackets or fixtures attached to your home.
  2. Per the "Flag Schedule" above, a beautiful 3' x 5' United States flag will be installed and picked up for each of the six national flag holidays. Leased flags are mounted on a 10' metal pole and set in the PVC sleeves that we previously installed. We set up, take down, maintain, and store all the leased flags. 

Your donation brings beautiful American flags to the streets of Melissa during the calendar year, so order early to receive all six holidays. Order one or more flags for your home or business.

Drive through your neighborhood with patriotic pride as the red, white, and blue waves proudly.
