Happenings Around The Great Outdoors
As residents and visitors drive through our beautiful community, they quickly see how patriotic we are here at TGO by the large number of American flags flying. Unfortunately, the flags are exposed to the combination of the harsh sun’s rays, wind, and time, and, therefore, become tattered, faded, and torn. On her travels Barbara Yeager had seen a “Retired Flag Box,” and she felt that our community had a need for such a box. Barbara, along with a team of caring individuals who represent the Sawdust Club of TGO, put their skills together and created our own “Retired Flag Box.” Our box will sit under roof near the entrance to Trimmers. Please place your own neatly folded retired flags in the box, and they will be respectfully handled for proper disposal. With May being National Military Appreciation Month, it is fitting that our “Retired Flag Box” be recognized by the community. Barbara is working on a plan to do exactly that! If the plan can come to fruition, then details will be forthcoming in the next edition of The Happenings. To the “international” team of individuals who provided the idea, expertise, materials, and skills needed so we at TGO could have our own “Retired Flag Box,” we thank you!
