Corporate leadership of PJ’s Coffee has launched a fundraiser to support VFW Posts across the state. VFW members are selling 12 ounce bags of PJ’s French Roast for $15 with the coffee shop then donating $7 per bag back to the VFW Post. Local PJ’s owner Bobby Mounts, a marine veteran, supports the effort and hopes to help the post generate much-needed funds. Tom Boniol, newly elected Commander of local Post 3615, makes the first sale to Jennifer Pyles of Champs Sports Bar & Restaurant. The funds raised locally will go into a building fund established to help the veterans replace the old post building built in 1937 that is no longer safe to occupy. For more information or to place an order for the coffee, contact Boniol at 318-914-9819. Leader photo by Cathi Cox-Boniol
