VFW POST 9241

WELCOME!

 

Growlersburg VFW Post 9241 was chartered April 1947.  Our post is located in the Gold Rush area of the Georgetown Divide in the Sierra Nevada Foothills.  Our Post members are dedicated to fostering patriotism.  The Post chose the Growlersburg name because it represented the history of the gold nuggets found in the area during the Gold Rush.  The miners said that the nuggets were so large in the gold pans they growled!

Veterans Hall
On the third Sunday of each month from 8:00 am to 12:00 Noon we offer a community breakfast at our Hall.  The nominal charge we collect for the breakfasts is used to operate our post and help support organizations within the Georgetown Divide area. 
 
Our Veterans Hall is located at 6289 Main Street in Georgetown.  Our facility is available for event rentals.  We offer a full-service kitchen along with plenty of room for tables, music, and dancing.  In addition, we offer a full-service bar for your event.
 
Veterans Park 
 
Our 10-acre Charlie Wilkinson Memorial Park is located at 3000 Veterans Way in Georgetown.  The Park is beautifully landscaped and appointed and offers plenty of shade as well as seating and cooking/grilling facilities. There are currently 5 RV hook ups available for rent as well. The Park is also available for event rentals. 
 
We are proud and honored to have established the Veterans Memorial Wall located at the entrance to the Park.  This Memorial Wall honors all veterans and all services by displaying bricks engraved with service men and women names, branches of service, and service dates.  Bricks can be purchased by contacting the Quartermaster.
 
Memorial Wall
Brick space is still available on our Veterans Memorial wall, located at Charlie Wilkinson Memorial Park. Contributions for the engraving of the bricks starts at $30.00.
 
Please contact the Quartermaster for further details on the Hall and Park rental programs.
