Honoring Stephen Green: Memorial Walk on the SNETT

At quick reminder that tomorrow, at 10:00 AM we'll be holding the The "Honoring Stephen Green: Memorial Walk on the SNETT" will take place commencing from the Grove St Franklin trailhead.

Stephen Green, a fervent advocate for the preservation and enhancement of the Franklin Bellingham Rail Trail, passed away recently, leaving behind a legacy of passion, commitment, and community spirit. The memorial walk aims to celebrate his contributions while also raising support for a cause that was close to his heart - the Franklin Food Pantry.

FBRTC - We need your ongoing support!

Hello!  

You're receiving this email because you've been kind enough to support us in the past - but it's been a while.

First of all we know we've not been great at reminding you that your renewal is due, and we promise to do better in the future! Second of all, your help in the past has been invalauable in helping us in our work. In the past few years we've helped advocate to transform the trail beyond recognition - including the bridge at Prospect St plus the resurfacing between Prospect and Grove St.

Finally - we need your help going forward. We're looking up advocate for upgrading crossings at Grove and Lake St, parking at Lake St, and of course extending the trail into Downtown Franklin. All this takes support in time and funds for matching grants, and we can't do it without you!

Renewing the membership package is quick and easy.  You can simply visit this link, and follow the instructions for membership renewal.  If you have any questions or encounter any issues during the process, please do not hesitate to contact us here.

We understand that circumstances change, and if for any reason you are unable to renew your membership at this time, we would greatly appreciate your communication with us. Your feedback and insight are valuable to us as we strive to continually improve and ensure that our committee meets the needs of our members.

Warm regards,


Franklin & Bellingham Rail Trail Committee
