The Albion Chamber of Commerce is giving community members an opportunity to sponsor American flags in honor of or in memory of an individual. The new Stars and Stripes program gives family and friends a chance to recognize their loved one(s).

   American flags are hung on street light posts throughout the town of Albion each year from approximately mid-May until late September. This American heritage not only decorates our small town with patriotism, it helps beautify our streets.

   Sponsor a flag for $50 per name (In Honor or In Memory), per year (see form below). All honoree and memorialized names will be listed in the Albion New Era in the spring. In addition, names will be listed on the Chamber’s web site (albionin.org) under the Stars and Stripes program. Flyers with names listed will also be posted on bulletin boards and in store front windows throughout town.

The Albion Chamber of Commerce, along with help from the American Legion Post 246, has been purchasing, maintaining and hanging American flags throughout the Town of Albion for nearly 15 years.
