The Middlesex County Rotary Club presented five checks totaling $2,020 to representatives of the four county volunteer fire departments and the Middlesex County Volunteer Rescue Squad on Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Urbanna fire station. The donations represented the net proceeds of the Rotary Club’s Fourth of July Flags for Heroes display in Hartfield which was dedicated to assisting these five organizations. The Middlesex Rotary Club gratefully acknowledges the skills, service, and dedication the volunteers and the leaders of these organizations bring to Middlesex County. The next Flags for Heroes display is planned for Nov. 7-15 at Christ Church Parish in Saluda. It will be dedicated to individuals (active, retired, or memorialized) who have faithfully served our country in the armed forces. The cost of a sponsorship is again $40 per flag, with proceeds going to the Middlesex Rotary Charitable Foundation Inc. for its charitable activities and causes within Middlesex County.
