Supervisors unveil official White Township flag
March 9, 2023

White Township supervisors on Wednesday unveiled the township’s official flag design that will be displayed at the 2023 Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors (PSATS) conference flag parade April 24 in Hershey.

Supervisors approved designing the flag during a May 2022 supervisors meeting after supervisor Eugene Gemmel pushed the board to come up with a design by this year’s PSATS conference.

“At the PSATS convention, they had a parade of flags,” Gemmel said during the May 2022 meeting. “And I think there are (around) 1,500 townships in Pennsylvania, but I believe, if I remember correctly, they had (around) 27 townships that displayed flags. (The PSATS) are going to continue to do this. By another year, I would like to see White Township have a flag in that little parade.”

During the May 2022 meeting, the board tasked supervisors Sandi Gillete and Gail McCauley, who’s now chairperson, with leading the design efforts. Supervisors ultimately settled on a white flag with the township’s emblem in the middle as well as the date the township’s supervisors were incorporated, with a fire engine red border.

“We worked in-house here with the help of the board (to design the flag),” said township manager Chris Anderson. “Supervisor Sandi Gillette helped, myself, (and) we worked through Fast Times Screen Printing to design the flag.”

Anderson said the board came up with a number of designs while working on the flag, which included silhouettes of a hill, a barn and other patterns incorporating local scenery. Although the township didn’t use those designs for the flag, they can still use them for various other township documents.

“When we went through the design process, we came up with a couple different designs with silhouettes, and a hill and some barns and stuff,” Anderson said. (We can still) utilize those in the township somehow, whether it be a planning document or a comprehensive plan update.”
