One of our many community service projects is to post the flags downtown in Fremont for special days. 

Contact the Flag Program Chairperson Vicki Vanderlaan
for more information or to volunteer to help.

Have you ever wondered who puts up the flags and takes them down in Fremont? The Fremont Lions Club has been serving Fremont with this project for over two decades. The funding for this project comes from a few Fremont Chamber of Commerce members and some other private sources. Help also comes from the Newaygo County Career Technical Center welding department. The students there make the flag brackets for us. The city of Fremont maintenance department helps by installing these brackets on the street light poles.  
  So you see it is a community project with many persons helping. The Fremont Lions manage the project and they are the ones running up and down Main Street putting up and taking down the flags on major holidays and special events days. We feel that the display of over ninety U.S. Flags along our streets is a testimony to the patriotic spirit of our city. 
  There is an on-going cost for this project in that the flags wear out and fade over time and must be replaced. Also the Lions would like to increase the display of flags. It is our hope to add 33 more flags on Main Street, starting from Veteran’s Memorial Park and going West.  
  The Lions Club is a non-profit organization, which serves the community in many ways. If you feel inclined to help support this flag project, you could send a check to the Fremont Lions Club, P.O. Box 115, Fremont, MI 49412. Contributed money beyond the flag project needs will be used to help the Lions serve those who have special needs.  
   Please let us know if there is anywhere we could purchase 3 X 5 stitched nylon flags for less than 22 dollars.  
  Thanks Fremont for your continued support.
