CWV Post 731 holds meetings at Sacred Heart Church. Meetings are still being held the first Wednesday of every month except during the Summer (June through August). See the meeting schedule below for additional details.

Many of the sections reflect the activities and honored members of the 1990's era. A comprehensive history of the post from inception through our 50th anniversary in 1997 is available here.

The facility at 920 West Chester Pike was sold in 2006. The current (February 2008) mailing address is:

March 2006 Notice: I have received several requests for CWV post locations. Unfortunately, I have not been able to identify a single source for all CWV locations locally and throughout the United States. I advise you to contact CWV National headquarters directly if you are unable to find a local post.
