Who won the Outstanding Partnership MAIN STREET INSPIRATION Award... 👀
🎊 Congratulations to the Manning Lions Club! 🦁
🇺🇸 On the 11 federal holidays taking place throughout the year, such as Memorial Day, Independence Day or Labor Day, Main Street Manning has placed United States flags on display along sidewalks in its downtown district. As the number of flags doubled, Manning sought a community partner to help with this, and the timing coincided with a push by the Manning Lions Club to find new ways to enhance its community engagement.
🚨For several years now, the Lions Club has provided the labor to set out about 80 flags each holiday -- a critical boost for the Main Street staff to make the patriotic displays possible. Main Street Manning provides the flags, flagpoles and storage space. The value of the Lions Club’s volunteer hours in this project amounts to $1,670 annually and totals approximately $5,000 since the partnership’s beginning.
