Show community pride with American flag fundraiser program

 

Lion Lee Metcalf and volunteer Eric Blais put away flags

Poulsbo Lions set up and take down American flags on 11 national holidays throughout the year. This is a fundraiser that helps us continue our service work.

 

Local businesses can sponsor a flag for $50 a year and Lions will install a flag in front of your store, continuing a tradition that is both meaningful and visually uplifting. (Special note: Dick Prine, who recently passed, is the Lion who started our flag program in the mid-1970s.)

 

You may join our flag program by contacting Dennis Deitch at (360) 271-1590.

What is the meaning of Flag Day? On this day 246 years ago, Congress created our national flag by commemorating Betsy Ross' creation of the Stars & Stripes.

First flags of year taken down

 Our first flag set-up and take-down of 2024 is in the books! Many thanks to the Lions who helped. It takes six Poulsbo Lions to set up the flags along Front Street, Viking Avenue and Highway 305. Then it takes another six to take them down. This is an annual fund-raiser for our club, with each business paying $50 for an entire year of flags being set up and taken down on 11 different holidays.
