Council Candidate Coffee Chat - Sunday, Nov 2 from Noon to 2 PM

Via Ken Ojukwu

"I’m running for Town Council and want to answer your questions. Social media has its uses, but it’s hard to beat in person interactions. 

I’m inviting you to an informal coffee chat this Sunday at Birchwood Bakery between noon and 2 PM. I’m happy to chat about Franklin, my candidacy or something else that you want to know about. Other candidates may also join. This is an informal event where I’ll likely have a cinnamon roll and a hot drink and hopefully good discussion about the priorities for and direction of our town. 

I have only 2 asks:

1. Respect! The goal is civil discourse

2. Vote! Every single vote matters 

I honestly hope to see you there. Thank you for caring about Franklin. 

(Note: if I can figure out how, I’m turning off comments on this post because online always exists and I really want to talk to you in person.)"
