<div dir="auto">I made a mistake and replied to Jerry only for the flag location response. I’ll add to my post below by saying, the flag pole was a new addition to me, and while my meeting attendance has not been 100% , I wondered how I missed the discussion and vote. It’s was surprise initially, but I have come to accept that if this is the wish of most let’s put up a pole of it can be approved with our plan. If it is not already painted white, it should probably be, and made to look as *historical* or traditional as can be. Living on a sailboat for over ten years, I saw my share of masts, spars and poles, and some were ugly and loud when ropes were not secured and rattled all night long distributing the neighbors, and some were tapered, shaped and attractive. </div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Donna Schuler</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:schuler.donna@gmail.com">schuler.donna@gmail.com</a>></span><br>Date: Thu, Mar 4, 2021 at 6:28 PM<br>Subject: Re: Vote on Flag Pole Location<br>To: <<a href="mailto:jkk@mcn.org">jkk@mcn.org</a>><br></div><br><br><div dir="auto">I vote for the NE corner, but my first choice would have it be located near our pump house or shed. We have our Japanese garden section going in the SE corner, and there is already a lamp post and the Pine tree- might seem like three uprights dominating that corner. If located near the pump house, it would be collocating the man made structures together, and would be like a ship with a mast. Thanks for giving us a chance to discuss and chose the location. </div><div dir="auto">Donna</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Mar 4, 2021 at 5:33 PM <<a href="mailto:jkk@mcn.org" target="_blank">jkk@mcn.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">To all Rotarians and Foundation Members,<br>
<br>
We are planning on installing a flag pole in Rotary Park. The pole is 21<br>
ft. high and we plan to have a Rotary Flag flying every day with the US<br>
Flag on appropriate days. We have discussed 2 locations. One is on the<br>
SE corner of the park close to Main Street, the second one is on the NE<br>
corner of the park at its high point. Please voice your opinion as to the<br>
location which you believe is best.<br>
<br>
Send me an email with either the initials SE or NE as your choice of<br>
location.<br>
<br>
Please do this ASAP, since the pole is ready to be installed.<br>
<br>
Jerry<br>
