4-H’ers learn about flag
Published 12:00 p.m., November 15, 2007
Citizenship was the focus of the recent monthly Carlisle-French 4-H Club meeting. As the meeting was held on Veteran's Day, a presentation was given regarding the American flag. Club members learned flag history and flag etiquette. Each member present was given a flag and the flag folding ceremony was performed, with members learning the proper way to fold the flag.
Club officer Matt Grant led the club in flag folding, which he recently learned at a 4-H youth leadership camp.
Members made a flag wall hanging out of wood, learning, as pointed out by club member Sam Friedrich, that when the flag is displayed vertically on the wall, the stars appear to the left.
4-H enrollment is open to kindergartners through seniors.
Call the Extension office to join the fun with a local club.
