 Lodge Members performed the Flag Day Ceremony on two occasions. The first at our June 10, 2024 membership meeting and the second at Birch Lane Elementary School in Massapequa on Flag Day - June 14th. The Birch Lane ceremony, which was attended by all students, faculty, local politicians and many parents, was made more meaningful as 9 students participated by reading the description for each of the Flags presented.
