GENE FRANQUES

Recently Supreme Ford of LaPlace hosted a cookout conducted by the American Legion Post 383 of LaPlace. Food items were sold by the legion to provide funding for students attending the boys/girls state program. The LaPlace Fire Department supported this effort with a display of equipment. This successful endeavor has prompted all organizations to plan another collaboration in the near future.
