Lion Dick has spearheaded our club flags project for years. Every holiday, rain or shine, the flags are put up early and taken down later. This time around, the downtown merchants association paid for the downtown flags, sending our club a check for $2,000. Since many merchants had already paid individually for their flags, Lion Dick went to each one and offered a refund. With the exception of only four merchants, the rest said to keep their check as a donation to our club, which amounted to $800.
Our club is working on writing a letter to the editor of the North Kitsap Herald to thank and name those businesses for their contribution.
