Why are there multiple calendars?

What's happening today in Franklin? 

Respectfully, the Library and Senior Center calendars are too full of events to include all their events so we tend to focus on the major events. Town and School meetings are also kept separate. Links for all the calendars are shared here:

We hope that you will join us on Wednesday, Jan. 31 at 1 PM for our "Where's The Toast?!" Memory Cafe at the Franklin Senior Center.  The Rob Show will be entertaining us with songs you all know and love.

If you or your loved one are experiencing any symptoms of sickness, or have been in close contact with someone who is sick, PLEASE refrain from joining us.  In this case sharing is NOT caring. You are welcome to wear a mask but it is not required.

Memory cafes are free but please respond that you will attend so I know how many folks will be joining us.
