FFECP
AMERICAN FLAG PROGRAM ... AN EXPRESSION OF PATRIOTISM
FlagProgram@eastcobbpark.org
The Flag Program gives East Cobb residents an opportunity to show their pride and
love for our country. It demonstrates the neighborhood’s great patriotic spirit
and at the same time, helps support the many family activities provided by the East
Cobb Park.
Friends for the East Cobb Park invites
you to join your friends and neighbors in displaying the American flag
on five major holidays: Memorial Day (May 31), Independence Day (July 4), Labor
Day (Sept 5), Veteran’s Day (Nov), and President’s Day (Feb). 
WE DO ALL THE WORK FOR YOU!
Local Boy Scouts assist FFECP members, and their organization earns money as a result. We display and
store the flags. The flags and the sleeves remain the property of the Friends for the East Cobb Park.
There are no brackets or fixtures attached to your home, and, when not in use, the sleeve is capped
and out of sight.
FRIENDS FOR THE EAST COBB PARK & BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
This is a service and fundraising
project of the Friends
for the East Cobb Park,
in conjunction with the Boy
Scouts of America. The FFECP is a nonprofit
volunteer-run organization focused on improving the park, its facilities
and programs. A portion of the proceeds also supports Boy
Scouts of America and the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP). By participating in this
project, your family also receives full park membership as a thank you
for your support.
YOUR PARTICIPATION
A PVC plastic sleeve is placed in the ground approximately 3 feet from the curb. On
the five designated holidays, a 3’ X 5’ United States flag, mounted on a 10-foot
metal pole, is placed in the sleeve. The flag goes up at dawn and is taken down about sunset.
For weekend holidays, the flag will remain up for the entire weekend.
FLAG PLAZA IN EAST COBB PARK
In conjunction with this project, Friends for
the East Cobb Park is constructing a permanent memorial Flag Plaza
located on the north end of the Park. Here, East Cobb citizens participating
in the Flag Program, have the opportunity to make a donation to have their
loved-ones memorialized on a placard in the plaza. Contact
FFECP or Mike
Voegtle for more information on the Flag Plaza.
