The Class of 2027 (my graduating class) has kicked off its major fundraiser for the year in the form of a calendar raffle. The raffle tickets are being sold online all this month and we will award over 40 prizes during March.
Some of our prizes include signed Patriots and Bruins gear, many restaurant gift certificates and much more!
Proceeds earned from the fundraiser will help to cover the costs of our Sophomore Banquet, Junior Prom, and Senior Year activities. These events come with a significant price tag, and the goal is to use this fundraiser to make them more affordable for everyone.
This year, sophomores are charged $50 for class dues that includes a ticket to the Sophomore Banquet. Whoever sells 10 calendars will have the $50 dues waived.
Class of 2027 calendar fund raising for March 2025
All calendar sales are done online (on Unibank) and it is as easy as sharing with friends and loved ones.
The raffle tickets are being sold for $20 each. All sales are due by February 28th.
**Please include my name in the Seller's Name section when purchasing the calendar.**

FM #1371 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1371 in the series.
This session of the radio show shares my conversation with the founders of the Children’s Museum of Franklin; Meg Hagen and Erin Gallagher.
Meg and Erin fill us in on their Franklin story, the idea for the museum, started as a mobile museum to help build interest and prove the concept would work. They are getting closer to opening their physical space on Cottage St (former Agway building).
You hear the excitement mounting as the building nears completion
Fundraising is still important, there are many ways to provide financial support
There is a free mobile museum scheduled for Patriot Place on Feb 23 from 10 AM to 5 PM
Opportunities to volunteer will open in a few weeks
The show notes contain links to their web page where you can view the architectural renderings of what the museum will look like as well as to contribute.
The recording runs about 38 minutes. Let’s listen to my conversation with Erin & Meg. Audio link -> https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-1371-update-on-the-childrens-museum-of-franklin-02-04-25/
