Boyertown Lions Club Initiates Hometown Heroes Banner Campaign

Lesley Misko Editor

Submitted by Lions Club of Boyertown

The Boyertown Hometown Heroes Banner Program, sponsored by the Boyertown Lions Club, is a living tribute created for the community to recognize and honor our Veterans of Boyertown and surrounding communities who served or are serving our country in the United States Armed Forces.

Each banner will be unique and honor a specific hero including their photograph, branch of service and era/years of service. This program is non-political and non-partisan.

Banners will honor military persons with ties to the Boyertown and surrounding areas and those who have resided or currently reside in Boyertown or surrounding areas.

The Banner will be 30” x 72”, heavy vinyl, printed on both sides and will display the service person’s photograph, including their name, branch of the Military and the era of service (WW I, WW II, etc).

Banners will be displayed for approximately three years, removed and stored during the winter holidays after which time they will be redisplayed.

Photos submitted should be in reasonably good condition. Priorities for photos are as follows: (a) Photo in uniform; (b) photo from era of service; (c) current photo not in uniform.

Send digital photo to order@everythingprinting.com. If you only have a hard-copy photo, you may bring that to Everything Printing, Gilbertsville, to have a digital image produced for a fee.

Each banner requires the Hometown Hero Form to be completed, a photograph of the Hero in uniform and payment of $250.00 for each banner, payable to Lions Club of Boyertown. The cost will include the bracket kit and banner. *Please note: There is no guarantee as to the life of the banner, but all retired banners will be returned to the sponsor.

If you have questions, contact Linda, 610-914-2811 or Beth, 610-780-1328

Please complete form and send with payment to: Lions Club of Boyertown, PO Box 1141, Boyertown, PA 19512 Attn : Hometown Heros
