Icon viewers:

 

The S.H.A.N.N.O.N. Service Club of Bluffton, in conjunction with the Village
of Bluffton, the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Bluffton American
Legion, says thank you to the many businesses and individuals who helped to
sponsor the 2016 Main Street flag project The cooperation among so many
people who helped this project in so many ways is truly inspiring. And the
stories behind the people who are honored and memorialized are heartwarming.

Jerry Cupples and other American Legion members also receive our
heartfelt thanks for all their work in attaching each flag to a pole and then
attaching that to the street light poles.

S.H.A.N.N.O.N. Service Club is an entirely-local service organization that
uses all incoming funds directly to help aid the youth, elderly, and needy of
Bluffton through many services and projects.

Listed below please find a list giving special recognition to those people
and businesses who have made Bluffton look mighty good and feel mighty proud
by supporting such a worthwhile project. 

You may also find this list of donors on the S.H.A.N.N.O.N. signboard in front of the Citizens National Bank on Main Street.

Thank you again.
