This past weekend, the Melissa Rotary Club launched a new opportunity for the Melissa community to build relationships. Young and old alike enjoyed the social get together at the Gala apartments on Saturday morning. This was the start of Melissa Rotary-sponsored quarterly social opportunities for the young to build relationships with these senior members of the Melissa Community. The next get-together will be a Christmas in July event for the seniors. If you are interested in making a big difference in the lives of others, bring your talents and join us. Share an hour of your time and talents in July by contacting John Cave or Melissa Rotary Club (MelissaRotary@gmail.com) to bring Christmas in July to the seniors at Gala apartments. These seniors are eager to visit with the young people in our Melissa community.
May 11, 2023 - The Memorial Day flag installation has begun and will continue over the next two weeks prior to the Memorial Day holiday weekend. With nearly 900 flags being installed by our teams of volunteers who work around their life schedules, the process will take a while and we appreciate your patience. We install the flags in waves over this period by drilling holes, marking addresses, and installing the flags at each residence for which a flag lease was purchased. Your neighbor may receive theirs before or after you do.
Leases remain available and any orders made by May 23 are guaranteed installation for this holiday. Orders after this may be delayed to the Flag Day holiday coming up June 14. If you do not receive your order or have concerns about your flag, please email us at melissarotary@gmail.com We appreciate your understanding about the length of this process and we appreciate your support for the various organizations using this as a fundraiser.
