Tow Residents Rally to Save Local Post Office
About 100 Tow residents packed the Tow Community Grounds to hear E G Vorwerk of the U S Postal Service discuss aging services amid Postmaster Eddie Renken’s June 30 retirement after 30 years. Residents pressed for a central Tow post office and gathered a 400 name petition for continued service, noting Tow’s 400 year round and 800 weekend population with four housing developments and 32 businesses. Vorwerk promised a recommendation to the San Antonio district manager by week’s end after evaluating growth and proximity to Bluffton’s newer facility. A temporary officer would run the current site for two to three months as permanent plans were prepared.
