Fly the Colors... The Patriotic Display of the Flag on Six American Holidays

The Ridgefield Rotary Club and the Marine Corps League invite Ridgefield Residents to join your neighbors in displaying the U.S. flag on 6 major holidays each year. Proceeds from Fly the Colors will be used to benefit veterans and their families. We will purchase, display, pick up, store and maintain the flags. The flags will remain the property of the Ridgefield Rotary Club. 

- Fly the Colors in an annual, subscription-based service. The first year cost is $40. Thereafter, it is $25 per year.

- A renewal notice will be sent each Spring unless we are notified in writing of your withdrawal from the program.

- Registration is by form with check payable to Ridgefield Rotary Foundation, or online with credit card atwww.ridgefieldrotary.org.

- Flags will remain in place for Memorial Day, Flag Day and the Fourth of JUly, and will be re-installed for Labor Day, Patriots Day and Veterans Day.

- A plastic pipe will be buried in your your permanently, flush with the ground, to hold the flag staff in place. A plactic cap will cover the pipe when not in use. A marker will be put in the street to indicate the location of the buried pipe. 

- A 3x5 foot flag on a 10 foot staff will be placed in the holder.

- Installation will be in coordination with "Call Before You Dig" and Ridgefield Public Works.

- Homeowners must notify us of underground installations such as a sprinkler system or invisible dog fence near the curb.
