Franklin Senior Center: Email Blast - Mar 19, 2021

Hello Everyone!
Email Blast - Mar 19, 2021
Email Blast - Mar 19, 2021


On March 24th it will be a full year of me sending out Email Blasts.  A year of the Senior Center being closed. A year of no hugs, face masks, social distancing and isolation.  A year of lockdown and zoom and an entirely new way of life for people around the world.  It has also been a year filled with kindness and new ways to connect people.  What is your most memorable moment of the past year?  What are you grateful for?  What are you hoping for in the months to come?
