Flag Schedule

NOTE: Flags are typically set 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.
On certain close holidays, flags may stay up between the holidays.
As we are a group of volunteers, flags may take a few days to install or pick up, so please be patient with us.
 
The flag lease program is based on a calendar year 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 upcoming patriotic holiday, the spot will be prepared by one of our volunteers 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.
Or, you may dedicate a flag in memory of a loved one at a school, the Melissa Cemetery, or another approved location.

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