The Flag Day program was held outdoors on June 9th with 110 to 145 members and guests attending. We were blessed with fantastic
weather. Participants included the Eureka High School Band, Rainbow Girls, Job’s Daughters, McKinleyville Honor Guard, Boy and Girl Scouts and the lovely, talented Emblem Club Ladies. The Honor Guard member and four Boy Scouts performed the Flag Folding Ceremony, which for many members can be very emotional. The band played Patriotic Music which was a great addition to the program. Dennis Hunter, PER narrated the History of the Flags as the Emblem Ladies carried and posted each Flag. Our local T.V. Chanel 3 attended and covered a portion of the program with a couple of interviews of members afterwards. Following the Ceremony our volunteer Kitchen Crew provided a free Spaghetti Dinner. (The PER Association donated $600.00 to the Eureka High Music Department for their attendance.)
