Support of the Troops
Love of your Community
Love of our Country

This is a service our Rotary Club has developed to provide an opportunity for Americans to show pride in their country. Proceeds from “The American Spirit” are donated to organizations in our communities.

For a donation of $60 the Rotary Club North St Paul Maplewood Oakdale volunteers will place a 3’ by 5’ American flag on a 10ft pole in front of your home or business on six holidays.

Volunteers deliver flags by 8 am and remove them the evening of the flag day. You do not have to be present. The Rotary Club is responsible for the replacement of any flag soiled, damaged, or stolen as well as storing the flags throughout the year.

PLEASE JOIN YOUR NEIGHBORS BY SUBSCRIBING TO THIS PATRIOTIC AND COLORFUL PROGRAM.

In 2013 our Rotary Club started a new program called “The American Spirit”. This program is to help local businesses and neighborhoods show their Patriotic support for the love of their Community, love of their Country, and Support of the Troops especially our Wounded Warriors.

Proceeds from “The American Spirit” are used to support local community programs and projects.

After you place your order for the American Spirit subscription. A Rotary member will contact Gopher One Call and submit a ticket with our preferred placement of the receptacle, during this time all utility companies will come out to your home and mark the locations of their utilities (electric, phone, cable…). This is the best time for you to mark your sprinkler, lamp post electric line, and underground pet fence if you have any. Once we receive an all-clear notice back from Gopher One (usually within 48 hours), we will send out an installation team.

The installation is a 15″ long pipe that will be pounded into the ground, flush with the ground, the only thing you may see is a white cap, about one inch in diameter, used to keep dirt and water out of the pipe.

On Flag holidays, a Rotary Team or partner will place a flag in the receptacle by 8 am and remove the flag in the evening.

All we ask of you is if you are asked by a neighbor, friend, family, or anyone else, that you tell them where they can sign up.

*If you would like a yard sign advertising the program, please ask and we will deliver.

We deliver to North St. Paul, Maplewood, and Oakdale. If you live in a different city and would like to subscribe, please contact us at the form below.
