Hudson American Legion Post looking to move

Feb 19, 2016 6:45 am

John Mason is reporting in the Register-Star Hudson's American Legion Post 184 may be moving. Post Commander Terry Drumm said the Legion is looking at the old parish hall of the Church of St. John the Evangelist on County Route 25 in Stockport. Drumm said the post's 8,200 square foot building at the corner of Fairview Avenue and Columbia Street is just too large for their needs. Post membership has been in decline, he said. The post counts one World War II veteran, and many Korean and Vietnam veterans among its membership of 120, but after that period the recruits fall off. Drumm said a special meeting of the membership will be held Mon., Feb. 29 to talk about selling the building and buying a smaller one. He said if the post does not put the building up for sale, it will be lost. "We don't have the money to support it," Drumm said. The Stockport building is located five miles north of Hudson. It has a hall upstairs, a commercial kitchen and a multi-purpose room downstairs. Drumm said the active members are in favor of making an offer on the Stockport building. “There’s nothing in Hudson that’s affordable,” he said. Read the full story in the Register-Star.
