Mount Union VFW Supports Local Programs

From the Sept. 3 Daily News

Blue Juniata VFW Post 5754 uses proceeds from skill machines and other fundraising to support Mount Union sports teams, help older members with dues, host special bingo events, and make direct donations to community organizations. Post manager Jody Campbell said a possible loss of skill-machine revenue could require the VFW to reconsider how much it is able to donate locally.
