Presenter details Memorial Day flag project and new collectible magnets to boost event attendance
Summary
A community presenter announced plans to place 1,630 flags on veterans’ graves on May 21, an essay contest for Memorial Day speakers, and a new collectible-magnet program (frames $12, free tiles at events) to be sold at the Recreation Center and at events beginning Monday.
Andy Binker told the council about three upcoming community initiatives: a volunteer project on May 21 to place 1,630 flags on veterans’ headstones, an essay contest whose winners will speak at the Memorial Day service on May 25, and a collectible-magnet program tied to city events. Binker said frames will sell for $12 at the Recreation Center beginning Monday and event attendees can pick up free collectible tiles at each qualifying event.
Council members reacted positively, asked for reminders and outreach support, and suggested creative ideas—one council member asked if a tile could be turned into a belt buckle. Staff agreed to promote the program via social media and event marketing.
