On July 30th, the president signed our new law: the AllAmerican Flag Act. Until now, the flags flown at military installations and government buildings, and even the flags that, tragically, are given to families of fallen service members, were not required to be completely made in America.
I just wanted to thank the entire community for turning out to donate—and then buy—the countless items for sale at the Caring & Sharing Food Pantry’s 127 Yard Sale. As a community (for we surely couldn’t have done it without all of your contributions), we raised just over $4,000 for the pantry. Money comes from item and refreshment sales and space rentals in our parking lot (think about it for next year), as well as just plain old, monetary donations during the event.
