It's time to honor a personal hero by sponsoring a flag at Murrieta Rotary's annual Field of Honor Nov. 4-11. A yellow ribbon attached to one of the more than 2,000 American flags that will fly during the week-long event gives you a unique way to honoring someone important in your life -- a veteran or active duty military person, a first responder, parent, grandparent, favorite teacher or whoever has demonstrated in your eyes a person who renders or rendered "service above self."

With a little help from our friends...we can make the 9th annual Murrieta Rotary Field of Honor another smashing success. Dates are Nov. 4-11. Rotarians invite all in the area to come out to Town Square Park to help with an assortment of "jobs." We can use help pounding stakes into the ground to hold the flags to staffing the information tent during the week and a variety of other tasks. To volunteer,
go to this site and sign up for a time and task that suits you.
