VFW Post 4992, a longstanding institution in Silverdale since 1945, is fundraising to replace its decades-old roof. Commander Gary Heitmann says they recently found out insurance would drop them if the roof isn't replaced by early next year.

"It was last repaired in 1992, so it's way past time. The building itself is more than a 100-years-old," he said. "We don't want to kick the can down the road for someone else to fix it in 10-15 years."

The current bid they received to complete the work is $54,000. Heitmann says the work on the roof will ensure their community-centered work can continue on for years to come.
