After 70 years, the Mohawk Valley Ad Club has decided to close due to a decline in membership.

The Ad Club's Board Of Directors made the decision after a year of consideration and outside consultation, but say they will create a scholarship to support local communications students with their remaining fund balance as a way to carry on the club's legacy.

Townsquare Media's Greg McShea is a past member and former President of Ad Club, he shared his thoughts on the Ad Club, past and present.

The Ad Club will hold a final event at Aqua Vino on November 21,  for members past and present to celebrate the club's history.
