Worn Flag Collection BoxFrank Poma, Eagle Scout candidate from Boy Scout Troop 343 built a worn flagcollection box for his Eagle Scout project and donated it to the HauppaugeLibrary. “People do not necessarily know what to do with a worn flag. I wanted tohelp them dispose of their worn flags properly," Frank said.

Worn flags are an item that many people do not know how to discard and this boxis designed to help people to do just that. Frank has also made arrangements forthe local Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion Post to collect the wornflags every month. Both organizations provide flag retirement service to thecommunity.

The library is very grateful to have received this donation and to be able toprovide this service to our patrons.
