To honor our flag and all it means, the Rotary Club of Deland has, as one of its signature projects, the Flag Project.
The Flag Project comprises putting out U.S. flags along Woodland Boulevard and New York Avenue in Downtown DeLand on patriotic holidays: Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Patriot Day, Veterans Day and Pearl Harbor Day. Additionally, we put out the flags on Election Day. Typically, beginning at 7:30 in the morning, we put up about 100-125 flags and retire them at 4:30 in the afternoon. Anyone is welcome to help in this very rewarding effort.
