VFW Frank Roberts Post 96-27 in Odon has received a $900 grant from Our Community Foundation through the 2025 Fast Grant Program.

The grant will be used for the post’s conversion to a Non-Smoking Facility.

In a move aimed at fostering a more inclusive and family-friendly environment, the post voted in April to go “smoke-free”.
