The Club Banners are now on display at Patter Turner Center in Deerfield.  These Rotary Flags symbolize international fellowship and friendship!  Exchanging Rotary Flags is one of the colorful traditions of many Rotary clubs.  Rotarians traveling to near and distant locations often take banners to exchange at "make-up" meetings as a token of friendship.  Exchanging club banners is a very pleasant custom, especially when a creative and artistic banner tells an interesting store of community pride.  The exchange of banners is a significant tradition of Rotary and serves as a tangible symbol of our international fellowship.  Come check them out!
Ray Larson and Peter Fitzgerald hung several banners full of Rotary flags from around the world which our club has received as flag exchanges during visits, on the art wall of the Patty Turner Center.  There are more than 40 countries and just about every U.S. state represented.  Natalie Kirsch and Peter Fitzgerald discovered six of the banners three years ago in our storage locker, and decided to attach a bunch of loose flags to make two more banners.  Mike Zengeler from the cleaners steamed the banners for Deerfield Rotary!  Peter has contacted the Deerfield Historical Society, who may put up an auxiliary display, as our club is over 80 years old.
 
We are excited to expand our Shared Membership Program. In November, we welcomed shared members from the Deerfield Public Library and Deerfield School District 109 (pictured right). This month, we are adding the Deerfield Park District.  Learn how our shared membership program works and contact us if you are interested in joining.
