Flags for heroes
Each November, the Gloucester Rotary displays 50 sponsored Flags for Heroes to honor our veterans and celebrate the service women and men who have shaped and inspired us. This year flags will be displayed from Nov. 3 to Nov. 17. Sponsorship information is forthcoming. In the meantime, please reach out to gloucester.va.rotaryclub@gmail.com for more information.

A Note About Bi-Monthly Meetings:


The Rotary hosts bi-monthly meetings. One the second Thursday of each month at 5:30 PM at Flat Iron Crossroads (7709 Flat Iron Rd.), and a breakfast meeting held the fourth Thursday of the month at 7:30 AM at Sanders Retirement Village (7385 Walker Ave.).

In addition to being a space to gather, report on old business, and plan new initiatives, each meeting also includes a presentation by a guest speaker doing vital work in the community.

All are welcome to attend these meetings and learn more about the Rotary!
