Thank You

from Denton Rotary FLAGS for HEROES

To honor our local heroes, the Denton Rotary Club celebrated its seventh annual
Flags for Heroes for Memorial Day from May 26 through June 15. One flag
memorial was located on the Caroline County Courthouse Green. The other was
on the corner of River Road and Rt. 404 on the Les Wright Farm. Our thanks to
both the Caroline County Commissioners and the Les Wright Farm for allowing
Denton Rotary to place the flags in both locations.
Flags for Heroes is a unique opportunity for our community members to honor
their personal heroes - whoever they are... a family member; a friend; a veteran; a
member of the armed services; a favorite teacher; a police officer; a firefighter or
any other person who has made in impact on their lives by sponsoring these
flags.
The proceeds of the donations will go to the Denton Rotary’s Community Fund for projects in Caroline County;
including Caroline County ‘s Imagination Library run by the Caroline County Public Library and partners, Denton
Boy Scout Troop 165, Denton Little League, Lifetime Wells International, college scholarships for Caroline County
students at Chesapeake College, and the annual Rotary Youth Career Fair for 10th graders at the General James F.
Fretterd Community Center.
