Mayor orders flags raised Monday

(From the City of Joplin)

By order of the Joplin, Missouri Mayor Michael R. Woolston, all flags on City facilities will be raised on Monday, June 27. The Mayor had ordered them lowered to half-staff on May 27th, in recognition of those who had lost their lives due to the May 22nd EF-5 tornado that passed through Joplin.


As City Manager Mark Rohr indicated during the moment of silence observation held May 29, which was one week after the tornado, the City of Joplin will hold a Memorial Service in the future at an appropriate time, when the necessary planning and involvement can occur with the survivors of this disaster.

City staff continues working on all aspects of the disaster recovery phase to help our citizens and appreciates their cooperation and assistance during these difficult times. Rohr encourages residents to listen for City information in the news media, as well review materials on the City’s website and Facebook pages, as they provide important material as we continue through this period.

  2. It's fixed. I fail to see what I have done to deserve that kind of comment. All You had to do was let me know I made a mistake and it was fixed. Then again, it is easy to say just about anything when you remain anonymous.

    Sorry. Didn't mean that to sound personal. Just wanted to point it out before it gets all over Facebook and twitter. A lot of folks only read the headlines.
