Christmas colors
All the Avenue of America Committee wants for Christmas is not two front teeth but another 24 state flags for Heritage Park.
Volunteers of the Heritage Trust's Avenue of America Committee thought it would be easy to get donations of state flags from the governors of the 50 states. We called all states, found out the proper contact person and requested the donation of flags. We received 12 donations and 38 regrets. Then we asked friends and relatives for a donation of the flag of their home state. We've even written to Tom Brokaw asking to donate a South Dakota flag. More flags have been donated, a few are "in the works" but there are others we still need.
We are expressing this wish for donations of state flags (average cost: $23.50) to be displayed on the Avenue of America in the Heritage Park. If you or someone you know would like to donate the flag or money then we could take it off our "wish list." Here are the states still needed: Alabama, Arizona, California, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Texas, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Arrangements to order flags online can be made by contacting me at ave.america2010@verizon.net. If you care to make a donation of money, send a check made out to "Heritage Trust America Fund" and indicate the state you wish to donate. Email your donation information to ave.america2010@verizon.net. Mail your tax-deductible donation to Heritage Trust America Fund, PO Box 369, Mt. Sinai, NY 11766. Of course after we get all the flags then we will have to arrange to buy the poles and attachments for the flags.
Our wish list also has 26 "Old Glory" flags on it. Anyone care to donate funds for their purchase and addition to the Avenue of America?
Thank you and a very happy, healthy New Year.
