 Lions Avenues of Flags

The Rochester Host Lions Club is now offering individuals in selected neighborhoods in the City of Rochester an opportunity to show their pride and patriotism by displaying the American Flag in front of their homes on five national holidays per year: Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Veteran’s Day.

These flags will be purchased and the poles attached and assembled by Lions’ members. Subscription donations will be sold by our members at a cost $40 each year. Subscribe here!

For each charitable subscription donation, the Rochester Host Lions Club volunteers will place a 3′ by 5′ American flag on a 10 foot pole in front of the home on the five holidays listed above.
