via Ali Rheaume:
The location for the upcoming social hour has been chosen! Thanks to Steve Sherlock, who attended our last gathering, we have been invited to gather at the Franklin TV station. I know, sounds odd at first, but they have a great common area inside, the option of space outside, and accessible parking, entrance, and restrooms. Can't beat that, right!? Thanks Steve! 

The updated schedule is with the new location address included.

  • individuals navigating life with disability to meet others they can relate with

  • meeting/gathering adjustments made during COVID
  • Open for new members with a nominal annual membership fee ($25)
