Gate City Rotary Will Again Fly Flags at Local Homes and Businesses

POCATELLO, Idaho - For the second consecutive year Pocatello's Gate City Rotary Club will transform Pocatello and Chubbuck into a sea of breeze-waving black flags supporting the Idaho State University Bengals every ISU home football Saturday.
 
Last year more than 400 homes and businesses took part in the program and the club would like to double that number this year.
 
Every Saturday that ISU plays a home football game club members, along with other volunteers, post the flags at residences and businesses that participate.
 
The same volunteers then go back out at the end of the day and gather the flags back up until the next home game.
 
The cost to participate will be just $30 for a residence and $60 for a business. All the money raised will go to the Gate City Rotary Club and will be used to help people in the community and around the world.
 
"Because of the success of last year's ISU Flag Project our club was able to donate more dollars than ever before," Voice of the Bengals and Rotary member Jerry Miller said. "The projects helped our local community and international projects like providing clean water in Africa and helping to provide better medical care for villages in South America."
 
To sign up for the program send an email with your information to rotaryisuflags@gmail.com they will contact you to make arraignments to fly a flag in front of your house or business.
