We are writing today to ask for your renewed support for the Franklin & Bellingham Rail Trail Committee (FBRTC), a grassroots organization of volunteers dedicated to developing the Southern New England Trunkline Trail, an abandoned railroad line into a universally accessible recreational trail in our community.
Over the past year, many exciting events have been happening with the Committee and with the development of the rail trail. In particular, the FBRTC:
- Hosted a number of events, including a trail cleanup day, a guided bike tour of the SNETT from Franklin to Blackstone, and an Autumn nature hike for children and adults.
- Participated in a meeting with DCR, Representatives Roy (Franklin) and Kuros (Bellingham), Franklin Town Officials, YMCA staff, and Franklin Downtown Partnership representatives to discuss the Prospect Street crossing/tunnel.
- Staff informational tables at local events to increase awareness of the trail
- Worked to stop the use of motor vehicle use on the trail.
The FBRTC is a volunteer organization comprised of local citizens and local officials who care about our community and who are dedicated to developing a recreational trail that is universally accessible for all activities and generations.
I hope you feel, as we do, that the trail is a tremendous asset, and when fully developed, it will improve the livability of our communities. Your annual tax-deductible membership contribution will provide you with a voice in the rail trail effort, and help the FBRTC continue to advocate, develop, and educate citizens and public officials about the trail.
Please take a few minutes to renew online at www.FranklinBellinghamRailTrail.org/support.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Marc Kaplan, Chair
David Labonte, Vice Chair
Mark McKeown, Treasurer
Theresa Tomaino, Secretary
Charles Maurer, Assistant Secretary
