Hey, everybody!
Our 350 Mass Greater Franklin node meeting will be held this Thursday, May 1, 7:00-9:00 pm. at the First Universalist Society Franklin (FUSF), 262 Chestnut Street, Franklin, MA.
Please put this in your Calendar for Thursday night.
Ordinarily the first Thursday meeting of the month is a hybrid meeting, offering both in person and Zoom attendance. However, because the purpose of this meeting is to do dry runs for our speaking to our legislators about the legislation before them this session, it will be ideal for attendees to come in person. There will be other topics briefly discussed, but this will be the main thrust of the meeting.
