Pelion Ruritans met Thursday, July 23, with a meal and practicing social distancing. Special guest speaker was John Rebolj from the Pelion Police Depart ment who gave information about events around Pelion.

We had 3 guests. During the meeting, Steve Neese presented Pastor Jerry Branham with the flag taken down at the Veterans Memorial Service Memorial Day.

Each year the retired flag is given to a Ruritan who served in the armed forces. The original flag retired in 2015 hangs in the Lutheran Building where Ruritans meet. The 2016 flag was presented to Frank Stover; 2017 to Tim Treaster; 2018 to Steve Neese; and 2019 to Sam Jackson, Sr.

Happy birthday to Dalton Olawsky, Kristen Hartley and Julia Podzon.
