There was a sad post on Facebook recently from the Conshohocken VFW 1074 Post regarding their struggle with membership. The post read:
“We (Conshohocken VFW 1074 Post) are again facing another challenge as far as filling officer positions. So much so, that at the monthly meeting this past Saturday we discussed evaluating whether to disband the post this coming March if membership and meeting attendance doesn’t improve. We really hope to try and avoid closing an organization that has been part of Conshohocken for over 75 years. If you know anyone who is eligible for membership and has time to get involved have them stop at the post or contact one of the post officers.”
Stay tuned for details on the re-opening of The StoneRose.
