Bethel Woman's Club launches "Flags on the Green" fundraiser for local veteran causes

Honor your own veteran, help your local vets and participate in Bethel Woman's Club "Flags on the Green" fundraiser

Looking for a meaningful way of honoring current or former members of the military or simply pay tribute to all men and women for their service to our Country in time of war?  Bethel Women’s Club will again spearhead the annual Bethel “Flags on the Green” project being held during May 13 – May 31.  Flags purchased for $10 will be personalized with your family members name, rank, service branch and dates of service and will be displayed around the gazebo on the village green in front of the Town Hall.  

Members of the Bethel Women’s Club will be on hand with forms to be filled in and to accept donations on Saturday, April 27 outside the Sycamore Restaurant and Saturday, May 4 at Stony Hill Wine at Big Y Plaza and at Dolan Plaza.  Forms may also be obtained from The American Pride store or mail your $10 check with name and rank of the veteran, the service branch and dates of service as they would like it to appear on the flag to: Bethel Woman's Club, c/o Geier, 15 Andrews Street, Bethel, CT. 06801.

All proceeds will benefit various Connecticut Veterans' causes.
