The Frank Roberts VFW Post 9627 in Odon has received a $900 grant from Our Community Foundation through its 2025 Fast Grant Program. The funding will help the post transition to a smoke-free facility, promoting a more family-friendly and health-conscious environment. The change aligns with the VFW’s mission of community engagement and follows the addition of a new multi-sports pavilion offering activities like pickleball, basketball, and cornhole. Members voted in April to go smoke-free.
