Service Banner Program finds Anonymous Donor
Great News for the citizens of Rancho Cucamonga, our serving service men and woman will not longer be asked to pay the bill for our modest effort to honor their service in harms way. The Daily Bulletin bringing attention to the this issue may well have contributed to this attractive solution.

Donor to fund banner programAn anonymous donor has offered to contribute to the city’s armed forces banner program, making it no longer necessary for military family members to pay $155 to participate.
The City Council is expected to formally accept the donation Aug. 20.
The banner program began in 2005 as a way to honor current military members who either live in the city or have relatives who do. Currently, the city partially funds the program while family members pay a fee for the banners and their installation. To date, 130 banners have been raised since the program.
