Letter: Sponsors keep Main Street flags flying
Letter from Duane Bollenbacher
The S.H.A.N.N.O.N. (Sharing Hopes And Nourishing Needs Of Neighbors) Service Club of Bluffton (in cooperation with the Village of Bluffton, the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Bluffton American Legion) is inviting you to help decorate Main Street of Bluffton with American Flags flying in the wind. These bright red, white, and blue pennants are already adding a touch of colorful beauty to our Bluffton Community this summer.
This is a WIN, WIN, WIN, WIN situation for all of us.
WIN # 1: You get to help beautify downtown Bluffton
WIN # 2: You get to honor or memorialize someone special in your heart
WIN # 3: You get publicly recognized for your sincere support
WIN # 4: You get to help support the all-local all-volunteer S.H.A.N.N.O.N. Service Club of Bluffton
The purchase of flags is open to businesses, organizations, or to individuals.
For each $25 donation you can help sponsor the American flags which wave above Main Street of Bluffton this summer.
For each $25 donation you make, you may name someone that you wish to honor or memorialize.
Your name and honoree will be publicly acknowledged in the Bluffton Icon and on the S.H.A.N.N.O.N. post in front of the CNB on Main Street.
For more information, please contact Duane Bollenbacher at 419-358-7365.
