We are a group of vexillologists and flag enthusiasts in Portland, Oregon. The PFA started meeting in 1995, and has grown to be the the largest sub-national flag group in the US and Canada.
We meet every other month for roundtable discussion, and everyone is welcome – if you find yourself in the Portland area when we’re meeting, please join us! After each meeting we put out a newsletter, the Vexilloid Tabloid (e-mail [email protected] to be put on the mailing list). The Vexilloid Tabloid summarizes the discussion at our meeting, but also contains essays, news items, a What’s That Flag quiz, and more.
Every October 1st (or thereabouts), we celebrate World Vexillology Day with a flag display at Salmon Street Springs in downtown Portland.
The PFA joined the International Federation of Vexillological Associations (FIAV) in 2013. In order to join we needed to have a paying membership. So it now costs $1 for a lifetime membership in the PFA. (There is no need to be a member to attend any of our events or to receive our newsletter.)
There are so many different ways to be interested in flags, and things to discuss about them – we try to cover them all. If you have a flag-related item to share, please send it to Ted Kaye, the Vexilloid Tabloid editor, at [email protected].
