TIFFINâ The Clear Creek Lions Club started out three years ago as a local component of an international organization with over 1.4 million members volunteering their time to serve their communities. Membership has grown for the Lions as has participation in a club fundraiser â Flags Over Tiffin.
For $40/year, the Lions will place a flag holder in a subscriberâs yard, and place an American Flag for Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Veterans Day. The flags are installed a couple of days ahead of the holiday and removed within a day or two after.
Tina Grace, president of the Clear Creek Lions Club, says the program has grown to 300 flags, and theyâre always hoping for more, even though placing them, then taking them back down, is a labor-intensive task often borne by a few members. On Thursday, July 1, Grace met about a dozen people alongside the Tiffin City Hall to get the flags deployed.
