Note: while I did not include it in the Twitter stream, I did comment on the plans for re-introducing the community calendar as the re-opening continues to make progress. There had been a community calendar of events but with all public events canceled, it was suspended. (The Cultural District page still shows a calendar with out dated events.)
The working agreement with the Cultural District is to produce three calendars. The Town of Franklin maintains their meeting and events calendar. We won't touch that but provide links to it from the Cultural District page and Franklin Matters.
The Cultural District page will display the cultural events from FSPA, Circle of Friends, Dean College, etc. They will also provide a link to both the Town meeting calendar and to Franklin Matters' community events.
Franklin Matters will display the community events and provide links to both the Town page and to the Cultural District page.
In this way, each view of the calendar (Town meetings, cultural events, community events) will be simplified and relatively uncluttered. If we did try to have one calendar with all three sets of events combined it would be unworkable with current calendar tools.
Stay tuned for further developments on the calendar discussion. For reference, the Town calendar can be found https://www.franklinma.gov/calendar
The Cultural District calendar can be found https://www.franklinculture.org/things-do/pages/calendar
The Franklin Matters calendar is currently 'unpublished' and will be shared when this new process has enough events to make it newsworthy. A pre-coronavirus sample of the weekly outlook can be found
