The Rotary Club of Pittsfield, MA Park of Honor is now on display in Park Square!
If you haven’t seen it already, take a moment to visit this beautiful tribute recognizing and remembering the brave men and women who have served our country.
There’s still time to sponsor a flag in honor of a veteran! By sponsoring a flag, your donation helps provide scholarships for children and grandchildren of veterans, ensuring that their legacy of service continues to empower future generations.
The deadline to sponsor a flag has been extended to this Friday, November 6th!
