JOIN US ON A ROADTRIP THAT'S SURE TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

This year, PEMCO Insurance is sending teams of genuine Northwest-loving people to community events and activities across the state. Some are in support of a good cause, some just sound like a good time - but either way, we hope you'll stop by and say hi. Look for us wherever you see the big green PEMCO van. And if we miss each other, drop us a note here and tell us what's on your mind.

Remember, there's no place quite like home, especially this time of year. So get out there and enjoy!

PEMCO Celebrates Flag Day with Flag Exchange

posted by Peter Young in Washington

What:	PEMCO Insurance celebrates this Flag Day with an opportunity for Puget Sound residents to exchange worn-out U.S. flags for new flags, free of charge. As part of PEMCO's ongoing commitment to community service, PEMCO's team of Brand Ambassadors will give away 3' by 5' American flags to anyone who shows up at two flag exchanges with a worn-out flag of equal or larger size on a first-come, first-served basis. The flag exchange is limited to the supply of flags on hand at each location. The flag exchange takes place at the Queen Anne Metropolitan Market (1908 Queen Anne Ave. N.) on June 8 and June 9 from 3 – 7 p.m. On Monday, June 14, PEMCO will hold one final flag exchange and collection at its headquarters from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. before formally presenting the flags to The American Legion. The American Legion will then transport the flags for proper disposal. Members of the news media are invited to the presentation of the flags to The American Legion at PEMCO headquarters in the north lobby on June 14 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Visuals will include folded stacks of worn American flags and American Legion volunteers in full uniform gathering folded flags for proper disposal.
