PC Service Leaders - Yard Flag Sale
|
It's the final week of the Pointe Coupee Service Leaders Flag Sale, and supplies are limited! The
11" by 18" yard flags are a perfect way to show your Pointe Coupee Pride, and support the Veterans Memorial, which will be built on the grounds of the Pointe Coupee General Hospital.
The Service Leaders, 15 students from all area High Schools, have driven this project from the design and planning stages, to production and distribution. The flag design illustrates many of the various services, industries, and natural resources that represent our Parish. The group selected the Monument as the beneficiary of the project proceeds as a way to honor
past, present, and future members of the Armed Forces - people that truly embody the project theme: "Serve, Protect, Provide...Pointe Coupee Proud!"
Flags can be purchased for $10.00 each (Cash or Check).
Flags will also be available for purchase at the Annual Membership Banquet, on February 25. Please click
here for more information.
