Community Spirit

Americanism

Patriotism

Volunteerism

Service

Under the auspices of the Cuba Chamber of Commerce, and in partnership with many other community groups, we intend to put the volunteer spirit of Cuba, NY on the map.  We believe that a sure way to draw attention to that great American tradition would be to erect a 150 foot flagpole, flying a 30'x50' American Flag. The project is dedicated to the spirit of volunteerism and the volunteers who have made, and will continue to make, our local region and country proud.  The flag will be lighted at night and will be viewable from the Rt. I-86 expressway. According to the manufacturer, it will be one of the tallest flags in the eastern United States, and the tallest along I-86.  The plan is to erect the flagpole in the heart of downtown Cuba with as much local help as possible, hopefully, including your help.

The Cuba NY Chamber of Commerce asks each family of the Town or Village to consider making a contribution for the "United We Stand" Flagpole Project.  The project will create a permanent memorial to community service and volunteerism.  Cuba's volunteers have been a great source of pride and accomplishment.  We have benefited from our youth organizations, service groups, firemen, veteran's organizations, volunteers who aid the elderly, and many other unpaid heroes.

We hope that you will consider making a contribution to this memorial.  Of course, all donations are welcome.  The community of Cuba is regaining its vigor through the efforts of concerned students, citizens, business people, and community groups alike. This project will provide source of pride, for the community, that will outlast many of those making contributions.
