Twin Falls Monarch Lions Flag Project

Twin Falls Monarch Lions put up flags on Federal Holidays

On January 1, 1991, the Monarch Lions Club of Twin Falls took over the flag project from the Exchange Club. They were putting up 120 flags.

Our Club is currently putting up 294 flags, divided into (8) routes around the community, on (8) Federal holidays. This service is paid for by the merchants of Twin Falls. Members of the Monarchs donate their time to put up the flags early in the morning and to remove them in the late afternoon on these holidays.

Our club has (39) members who's average age is seventy-six (76) years young. Occasionally we find ourselves shorthanded due to health reasons, vacations, or family commitments. Thanks to the Twin Falls Lions Club and some retired Idaho Power Company employees, we can request additional help when needed.

Funds generated allow us to contribute to several organizations including Leader Dogs, Sight and Hearing Foundations and glasses for the needy. Most of the funds are spent on people who are in need of but cannot afford glasses.

Our Eye Sight Chairman is Lion Laviar Thornock. Lion Dale Taute and Lion Vern Robertson collect used glasses, sort them and send them to various locations for recycling. Dr. Walker of Mountain West Optical, Lion Dr. Fitzhugh and others are also involved in this worthy project.
