Little River VFW Post installs solar panel array on its facility with help from CCU students

The sun was shining bright on Saturday, Oct. 13, over Veteran of Foreign War Post 10804 in Little River as the community gathered for the unveiling of a solar panel array that was installed in September on the building, a project initiated and funded by a group of Coastal Carolina University students.

Dozens of VFW members were in attendance for the official ribbon-cutting of a project they believe pushes their operations into the 21st century, and they credit the CCU Solar Ambassador team for helping them find a way to cut their energy bill while doing something positive for the community.
