STARS AND STRIPES PROGRAM
Albion Chamber of Commerce Stars and Stripes Program Sponsor an American flag in your loved one’s name.
Help keep the American flags flying in Albion. American flags are hung on street light posts throughout the town of Albion each year from May until late September. This beautifies our streets while showing our town’s pride in our great country.
Your sponsorship can help keep this tradition going as well as honoring a loved one. All honoree and memorialized names will be listed in the Albion New Era in the spring. Flyers with names listed will also be posted on bulletin boards and in store front windows throughout town. In addition, names will be listed on the Chamber’s web site (albionin.org) under the Stars and Stripes program.
The Albion Chamber of Commerce, the American Legion Post 246, Noble REMC, and area citizens have lined our streets with 60 American Flags for over 15 years.
We need the communities support to keep the flags flying. Please sponsor a flag while honoring someone you respect and love.
Goodwill Truck
Goodwill Truck will be in Albion on Saturday, May 12th from 9:00 - 12:00 pm.
Albion Firefighter Honored For Fifty Years Of Volunteerism
At a time when many people retire from their jobs after twenty-five years, an Albion man has been volunteering his time in the same position for twice that long.
Phil Jacob was honored on February 19 for his fiftieth anniversary with the Albion Volunteer Fire Department. He was one of several long-time firefighters recognized by Governor Holcomb that day at the Indiana State Capitol, with his wife Cindy and several Albion firefighters in attendance.
Jacob joined the AFD in 1968, at a time when the firefighters were alerted to calls by a party-line type telephone call, and their newest truck was a 1965 Chevy/American LaFrance pumper. Over the years he served many positions on the department, including Captain and Assistant Chief; he was chairman of the AFD’s 125thAnniversary Committee.
But Jacob’s lasting legacy will no doubt be his work as Albion’s Fire Prevention Officer, a position he’s held for more than half the time he’s been on the department. He’s a familiar sight in Albion schools as he spreads the message of fire prevention. In the late 90s he spearheaded a campaign to purchase a mobile learning center, which is available for fire prevention activities around the area. It’s estimated he’s talked to well over 15,000 students and adults, taking the message of saving lives through education to various schools and organizations.
