Ok GALA, it's time to support a local business that has supported us!

Some of you may have seen the report on CBS11 the last week of June about the management of McKinney Pizza Tavern (MPT) taking a stand against H8. When a patron was being harassed and then assaulted by another customer MPT management called McKinney PD and requested a criminal trespass warning be issued to the offender (watch the report here -- https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2018/06/26/north-texans-rally-couple-targeted-gay/).

In order to acknowledge this stand against H8, our July 19 Third Thursday Happy Hour will be held at: McKinney Pizza Tavern 1705 W University Dr, # 118, McKinney, Texas 75069, 5:30pm. For those of you who want to partake of an adult beverage or two, the management will be offering some really good bar specials. And for those who want something to eat other than pizza, they have some pretty awesome salads as well.

Hope to see you all there so we can have a big crowd to give a big thank you to MPT!
