Serving the area of Celina and Gunter!
 
The goal of the Preston Trail Rotary Club is to see the American flag in front of every home and business around the Celina and Gunter area on these important dates in our history.  Join us in celebrating our national holidays by flying the red, white, and blue.
 
When you lease a flag, we will install a sleeve into the ground near your front curb and discreetly mark the curb so we know you are a supporter.  Prior to the holiday, a 3’ x 5’ US flag mounted on a 10 foot metal pole will be placed in the sleeve.  The flag will be removed after the holiday.  We purchase, display, store, and maintain the flag for $60 per flag per year.  You will be billed for each year on the anniversary date.
 
PLEASE NOTE - Orders must be placed 10 business days prior to a holiday to ensure instillation.

People of Action
People of Action
Rotary is dedicated to six areas of focus to build international relationships, improve lives, and create a better world to support our peace efforts and end polio forever.
 
Rotary encourages conversations to foster understanding within and across cultures. We train adults and young leaders to prevent and mediate conflict and help refugees who have fled dangerous areas.
 
We educate communities to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases like polio, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. We improve and expand access to low-cost and free health care in developing areas.
 
We support local solutions to bring clean water, sanitation, and hygiene to more people every day. We don’t just build wells and walk away. We share our expertise with community leaders and educators to make sure our projects succeed long-term.
