Ferdinand Kiwanis American Flags Project

Ferdinand- The Ferdinand Kiwanis is gearing up for their 2023 Avenue of American Flags Project. 

Last year 195 flags were placed throughout the town. Renewal emails  are being sent to last year’s participants that shared their email addresses.  Letters are being sent to those who did not share their email addresses. Replies  are to be made by May15th.  

This year, the Kiwanis will once again accept new participants. Participants must  be within the town limits of Ferdinand. New subscription requests can be sent to  the Kiwanis Club of Ferdinand, PO Box 83, Ferdinand, IN. 47532. Please  include name, address, phone number, and email address, along with a $40  check made payable to Kiwanis Club of Ferdinand. We also need to know if you  have an invisible fence or sprinkler system present in your yard.  

The Ferdinand Kiwanis American Avenue of Flags Project places flags at  residences and businesses on six flag holidays: Memorial Day, Flag Day, Fourth  of July, Labor Day through September 11th, and Veteran’s Day. Last year, the  vast majority of flags were replaced with new flags. The $5 cost increase this  year has to do with increased costs in materials.  

Profits from the project go towards the schools within the SE Dubois School  Corporation, the Heimatfest Teen Ambassador scholarships, and the Birdseye  and Ferdinand town libraries.  

Inquiries about the American Avenue of Flags Project can be sent to  [email protected], the Kiwanis Club of Ferdinand Facebook page, or  calls made to Peggy Huff at (812)-686-6574. All renewal and new participants  need to send in information and a $40 check by May 15th.
