Flags for Heroes 2023
For the fourth consecutive year, the Rotary Club of West Shore will honor those who inspire us to be better people. People who live the motto "Service above self;" who face adversity and still go on. Our HEROES.
Whether it's first responders, those who continue to show up, military personnel, delivery drivers, caregivers, those battling illness, veterans, those who fight for others, family members, or friends, we want to Honor, Encourage, Recognize, and Offer our thanks to you.
Due to the positive feedback of the flag display, this year's event will begin Labor Day weekend, and flags will remain on display until the end of September. The RCWS extends a huge THANK YOU to the Penn Harris Hotel for providing the display site this year!
