Let's pick a Day/Time for a weekend session of the monthly Franklin Q&A (survey)

We need to find a day and time of day that would work for the most folks to participate in a monthly Franklin Q&A session. There is one at the Senior Center on the 3rd Wednesday each month. 

There was a trial during 2025 for Monday evenings at the Franklin Library that didn't work well enough to continue.

So let's try a weekend at the Franklin TV Studio:

• Either a Saturday - late morning, early afternoon
• Or a Sunday, late afternoon, or early evening

Mark the day / time combination that you'd prefer with a 1 (top), 2 (still works) or choice of No (can't make it)

Note: whatever day/time combination is chosen, there would be a remote option (via Zoom) to participate as well.
