On Saturday, November 7, Rockland Rotary honored heroes and special individuals at their "Flags for Heroes" ceremony at MacDougal Park in Rockland. Among those attending were Rockland Mayor Adam Lachman, Police Chief Tim Carroll, members of the Rockland Police Department, members of the Rockland Fire Department, veterans and local community members. Ken Gricus, a Rotarian for 55 years, gave the invocation. Rockland Rotary Club President Lexi Zable-Rackliff states, "The Flags for Heroes initiative provides an opportunity for community members to honor individuals who have made a meaningful impact on their lives.” Each sponsored flag represents a dedicated tribute to a local or national hero, creating a visual display of gratitude throughout MacDougal Park. Proceeds raised through flag sponsorships support the Rockland Rotary Club’s local community service projects, youth programs, and charitable contributions throughout the local community.
