Not only are <br />they patriotic and <br />beautiful during the <br />day, but the light from <br />the poles makes them shine <br />at night. <br />Did you know that you can sponsor one of these flags? <br />It's a unique way to demonstrate civic pride or honor <br />a loved one's memory. Your one-time donation will be <br />commemorated with an engraved nameplate on display in <br />City Hall and recognized in the Ramsey Resident and at a <br />City Council meeting. <br />There are two levels ofpatronage. Friends of the Flag is <br />$50 and sponsors one of the 2-foot by 3-foot flags. The <br />other is the Patriot Sponsorship, at $500. That flag is 3-foot <br />by 5-foot and is in the intersections in the COR. <br />To find out what sponsorship entails, visit <br />www.cityoframsey.com/778.
