Sarah Creese, an eighth-grader at West Middle School, installs a pink flamingo in front of the school to kick off the "flocking" fundraiser this week. The idea is that folks make a donation to have a friend or neighbor "flocked" - - have a bunch of pink flamingoes stuck in their yard for a day or two. The unsuspecting person that has been "flocked" has to make a donation to have the flock removed and migrate to another lawn. If people in town don't want to have pink flamingoes put on their lawn, they can make a donation for "flocking insurance," and the school won't flock them. Volunteers will be moving the birds around town for two weeks from lawn to lawn.
