Register by June 5 for Gleaner’s flag exchange

ADRIAN — Gleaner Life Insurance Society will again help Lenawee County residents honor Flag Day by hosting an exchange of worn and weathered American flags on Wednesday, June 12. The event will help residents have a new American flag ready for Flag Day on June 14.

The June 12 flag exchange is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in front of the Gleaner office at 5200 West U.S. 223 in Adrian. Lenawee County residents are welcome to exchange one old flag per person for one new flag. Levi’s Sweet Treats will be on hand to provide ice cream and other frozen items to participants.

The exchange is free, but donations will be accepted. Proceeds will benefit Woodworking for Warriors. These will be matched by the Joseph Wildberg Fund for Veterans.

So that Gleaner can obtain enough flags, residents seeking a flag must register online at gleanerlife.org/flagexchange by June 5.
