You've helped us in the past - we'd love your support going forward

View this email in your browser FBRTC - We need your ongoing support! Hello!   You're receiving this email because you've been kind enough to support us in the past - but it's been a while. First of all we know we've not been great at reminding you that your renewal is due, and we promise to do better in the future! Second of all, your help in the past has been invalauable in helping us in our work. In the past few years we've helped advocate to transform the trail beyond recognition - including the bridge at Prospect St plus the resurfacing between Prospect and Grove St. Finally - we need your help going forward. We're looking up advocate for upgrading crossings at Grove and Lake St, parking at Lake St, and of course extending the trail into Downtown Franklin. All this takes support in time and funds for matching grants, and we can't do it without you! Renewing the membership package is quick and easy.  You can simply visit this link, and follow the instructions for membership renewal.  If you have any questions or encounter any issues during the process, please do not hesitate to contact us here. We understand that circumstances change, and if for any reason you are unable to renew your membership at this time, we would greatly appreciate your communication with us. Your feedback and insight are valuable to us as we strive to continually improve and ensure that our committee meets the needs of our members.
