The Azua, Dominican Republic Rotary flag had an interesting story and an unfortunate demise.Our first Matching Grant project in about 1991 was to send an ambulance to Azua, a town of about 200,000 THAT DID NOT HAVE AN AMBULANCE FOR THEIR HOSPITAL. My son, a peace corp volunteer, was the driving force for the project.When Charla and I went to Azua to celebrate the project, the Azua Rotary Club did not know about flags as they never had had a guest.When told about flags, they took a piece of white silk and hand painted a flag that was about 4 times the size the ones we have on our tables.It was crude but very nostalgic because the effort they made to reciprocate.
Sadly, when one of our members was cleaning out flags and mounting them on large banners we used to have, it was discarded as being inferior to the others.
