Franklin Senior Center: Remains closed through Feb 24, check schedule for activities thru Feb 24; Café opens Feb 27

SENIOR CENTER CLOSED 2/21-2/24

The Franklin Senior Center is unfortunately going to be closed another week (February 20th-24th) for construction, but in the meantime we have planned a variety of programs for you at the Town Hall and Library! In better news, we will be opening the Common Grounds Café and the attached multipurpose room on the following Monday, February 27th!

The programming schedule for next week is posted on our website as well as our social media- so please take a look and join us next week. 

We are also sad to announce, our deputy director Christina LaRose will be leaving us for a wonderful opportunity for the town of Foxboro, so we will be having a goodbye party for her at the Franklin Library next Friday 2/24 at 11:30am.

Hope you all are doing well, and please reach out to us at 508-520-4945 if you have any questions or concerns! We miss you all and have a wonderful presidential weekend!

Thank you for your understanding and support

Danielle Hopkins, Franklin Senior Center Director

One correction to the schedule: the Senior Scribblers will meet at the Franklin TV studio as they normally would for the last Wednesday of the month to record their radio episode for March.

In the News - power outage damage, Hope for Animals

About 2,240 National Grid customers lost power early Wednesday for a couple of hours when strong winds downed a power line on Oak Street, a spokesman said.

As a result, the Senior Center's heat went off and the sprinkler system froze and three ventilators at the John F. Kennedy Elementary School and 10 more in the high school broke, causing water damage in all three buildings, said Town Administrator Jeffrey D. Nutting yesterday.

Insurance claims will cover the damage's cost, Nutting said.

About a dozen people and shelter coordinator Melissa Trottier attended last night's meeting to support Hope for Animals.

"How sad it is that this community cannot help," Tanfani said. "We have to have some place for cats. The economic conditions are hard, but if we close our doors in May, you will have the problem of unspayed and feral cats."

To help support the shelter, call 401-996-4129 or visit the Web site www.hopeforcatssanctuary.com.
