Fundraiser slated for Derby Shelton Rotary Flags for Heroes event

 

Derby-Shelton Rotary Club to hold annual Flags for Heroes event

SHELTON - In 2022, the Derby-Shelton Rotary Club held the first Flags for Heroes event at Veterans Memorial Park. 

The event is the brainchild of former President Linda Holmes-Hannon who first saw the event held in another community and brought it to the attention of the Club.  

The event is meant to honor heroes from all walks of life and involves placing commemorative flags with the names of the heroes where the event is held. 

In 2022, that was only at Veterans Memorial Park in Shelton. In 2023, the event expanded to include Derby’s historically significant Birmingham Green.

From May 24 to June 19 more than 300 flags with personalized medallions will be flown on the Derby Green and Veterans Memorial Park.
