WEST PITTSTON \u2014 The late Bill Rowe, who was a longtime West Pittston Historical Society (WPHS) treasurer, had a goal and that goal was to achieve 100 members of the WPHS.<\/p>\n
Mary Portelli, WPHS president, would like to make that goal come true in Bill\u2019s honor, but she\u2019s going to need the help from the public.<\/p>\n
\u201cBill\u2019s ideas and enthusiasm propelled our organization forward,\u201d Portelli said. \u201cHe brought so many new members to WPHS in an effort to reach the goal of 100 members. We would always fall just a little short.\u201d<\/p>\n
Portelli said, for 2026, in Rowe\u2019s honor, the WPHS started the \u201cBill Rowe Membership Challenge\u201d to hopefully reach 100 individuals, families, and businesses as members of the WPHS.<\/p>\n
