Finished product! The ladies of SWC have been hard at work completing the repainting of the flag in Jeffords Park, and we are so proud to see this project come to life. We hope it will be enjoyed by our community for years to come and serve as a lasting symbol of unity, gratitude, and pride in the country we call home.

This project would not have been possible without the support of our city officials and employees. A special thank-you to Mayor Harold Proctor, City Manager Chris Davis for financing the project, the City of Sylvester employees, and, of course, our hardworking club members who helped make it happen.❤️🇺🇸💙
