First Friday art These works and others will be on display at the Art Center for the Islands’ First Friday art reception tomorrow, Nov. 6, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Works shown are by artists, clockwise from top left, Monique Dix, Donna McGuil, Jeff Martin and Jerry Hill. Work from the show will be on display and on sale through Nov. 27. In honor of Veterans’ Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11, the Port Aransas Rotary Club will again post 125 flags around the community at homes and businesses of subscribers to its flag fundraiser program.

The project, spearheaded by Rotarian and veteran Francis Stokes, helps fund Rotary projects and scholarships for the community throughout the year.

For a $60 annual fee, Rotary Club members will come to your home or business, drill a hole in the yard, install a 10-foot flag pole topped with a 3-by5-foot American flag and let it fly all day. When the day is over, Rotarians will remove the flag and pole, then bring it all back the next holiday. Flags and poles remain the property of the Rotary Club.

COURTESY PHOTOS Flags are posted on six holidays; Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Presidents’ Day, Independence Day and Patriot’s Day (Sept. 11).

Rotary members will be at the Family Center IGA parking lot tomorrow, Friday, Nov. 6, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for a food drive, and will also sell subscriptions to the flag program.

Flags may be ordered by mail by sending checks to: Port Aransas Rotary Club, P.O. Box 674, Port Aransas, TX, 78373. Include your name, physical addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers (including an alternate phone number) and a check for $60 made payable to the Port Aransas Rotary Club.
