Ruth Tansills' 4th of July Flag Display Madison Park

Posted in: Madison Park

Ruth said she had several more streets that wished to take part in the flag display for the 4th of July.   She tried to find sponsors, but has not had much luck.  She would like to expand the flags to add them to the streets that have let her know that desire them.

 

She even reached out to the Madison Park HOA Board to request they consider a one time donation toward the cost of the American Flags.   The HOA board apparently rejected the request yesterday, without providing a specific reason. 

 

If you want to see the Flags please consider making a donation to the cause.

 

You can reach Ruth at ruthtansill@gmail.com to suggest any possible funding sources, make a donation, or speak with her about her wish to expand the flag display to other streets in Madison Park.     Please be sure to put American Flags in the subject line.    She got a lot of postive feedback last year when she started this project from most residents. 

 

Her plans are to have the flags up the weekend prior to the 4th for that full week of the 4th.   .

This is the second year for the July 4th Celebration for the Madison Park Neighborhood in Charlotte, NC.  We would like to celebrate this national holiday by lining the curbsides of our neighborhood streets with small  American flags to commemorate our passion for this great country we live in.  

It is the intent that this request is a one time ask with a multi use and multi year benefit.  The flag display will be an annual event   We need the monies by July 1.  Your support of this endeavor would greatly appreciated.  We will honor your support with providing  great care of the flags so they can be used year after year for other holidays like Veterans Day, Memorial Day and Flag Day.

Thank you for endorsing this request with your financial contributions and generosity.

Ruth has around 900 flag request.   She still does not have funds to pay for all the request to date.    The flags run $1 each.    So if you want to see more flags click on her Go Fund me campaign and throw her a few more bucks.   She has had a handful of large donations, but she appreciates any amount you can share for the flag cause.    There are over 1700 homes in Madison Park if you include both sides of Tyvola.  

 

This is not an HOA event.   The HOA would not advertise her effort or make any donation to her campaign.     She started this event last year on her own in the area she lives in.

Thanks to the MadPark5K group for their generous donation to the flag display.
