On Saturday, July 17th, Post 178 held a pancake breakfast for members and their families. It was the first “get together” since the onset of COVID-19 and many attended. Attendees enjoyed each other’s company and especially the pancakes and bacon grilled by longtime member Chef Marty Martel. Many thanks to Korrie and Brett Ragsdale of Be Krafty Ent. Inc. and everyone that assisted with the food and refreshments preparations.

Post 178 will hold our first “after COVID lockdown” social event and hope you and your family can attend. This pancake breakfast will be a great opportunity to just get together to enjoy each other’s company. Breakfast will include pancakes, bacon, juice, coffee, and water. It will be served at the large pavilion at Frisco Commons Park on Saturday, July 17th from 9-11 a.m. There will be no charge for breakfast, but it is only for Post 178 members and their families.
Please R.S.V.P by emailing friscolegion.commander@gmail.com with the number of family members that will attend so we can ensure that we have enough “fixings”.
