On Feb. 23 Marlton Elks held a flag retirement and induction ceremony. Marlton Elks brought into the lodge a new flag from the capital of the United States. Marlton was honored to bring in a new flag complete with a certificate from congress. At the same time Marlton’s flag retirement ceremony collected flags from local residents and with township fire and police on site, the flags were honorably retired. The ceremony was conducted by retired Master Sgt. Randy Yontz.
In addition, township and state officials were on hand and presented Marlton Lodge with a certificate of appreciation for fine work in the community. Marlton Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts were part of the ceremony and Marlton’s Elks were happy to serve the community in this capacity.
