The LiveARTS String Quartet says Thank you !!!

Dear music lover,

WOWWWW!!!

What an incredible concert experience we had on November 16 at the Franklin Historical Museum! The place was absolutely PACKED. In fact, it was standing room only, with 90 people in attendance and only about 70 chairs!

Here you are, our beautiful audience! Do you see yourself??

Here you are, our beautiful audience! Do you see yourself??

By the massive turnout for this concert, the people of Franklin and surrounding towns send a message to us loud and clear:

WE WANT THE LIVEARTS STRING QUARTET

HERE IN FRANKLIN!!

We hear you, and we THANK YOU for giving us a clear mandate to continue working hard to make a full season of concerts possible!

At this season of Thanksgiving, the LASQ has much to be grateful for...

To those who attended the concert, thank you SO very much for being there, we loved having you!

And if you didn't attend, thank you for staying tuned with these emails -- we are working hard to make it possible to present more concerts, and we hope you'll be able to make it to another one!

And extra special gratitude to all those who made donations at the door! So many cash donations were coming in that it was impossible to track and source them all.

So please accept our deepest thanks to each of you right here. Every dollar made a difference!

Voices of Franklin: Jane Callaway-Tripp says "Thank you, Franklin"

Thank You, Franklin

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the residents of Franklin for the support, trust, and encouragement you've shown me throughout this election. Winning a seat on the Town Council is a humbling honor, and I am committed to serving every resident—whether you voted for me or not—with integrity, compassion, and fairness.

To those who placed your trust in me, thank you. I will continue to be the person you elected: someone who listens, advocates, and works hard to represent our shared values. To those who did not vote for me, I want you to know I am here for you too. I hope to earn your trust through my actions and dedication.

Regardless of outcome, I want to thank everyone who took the time to vote. Local elections are the foundation of good governance. If we are not strong locally, we cannot be strong at the state or federal level. True civic engagement begins at home—with each of us showing up, speaking out, and participating.

Congratulations to all who won seats on the Council. We may not agree on every issue, but we share a commitment to Franklin's future. Let's work together to preserve the character and spirit of the town we all love.

To the incumbents who were not re-elected: thank you for your service. We may have disagreed at times, but your years of dedication mattered. Public service is never easy, and your time, effort, and resilience deserve respect.

As we move forward, let's remember: our schools, buildings, and roads are just structures. It's the people who make Franklin what it is. At the end of the day, each and every one of us is Franklin.

With gratitude,  

Jane Callaway-Tripp  

Franklin Town Councilor

Franklin Democratic Town Committee sends "thank you" to Joe & Paul

The Franklin Democratic Town Committee wishes to publicly acknowledge and thank Joe Carmignani and Paul Kortick of the July 4th Coalition for their time, effort, and expertise in planning, executing, and pulling off a successful 4th of July extravaganza, again.  

This town wide celebration offers many civic groups in town the opportunity to raise funds for their causes.  It is our biggest and only fund raiser for the year.  There is a lot of hard work and dedication that goes into this event and we appreciate all that the 4th of July Coalition does for our town.  

If you have not donated, yet, you can still do so:  www.franklin4th.com

Voices of Franklin: CPA for Franklin Committee says "Thank you"

The CPA for Franklin Committee is both grateful and inspired by the vote to adopt the Community Preservation Act. Franklin is one of nine communities to pass the ballot issue, which will bring opportunities for historical preservation, set aside open space, enhance and build recreational areas, and create affordable housing.

 

Several steps will be taken in the coming year to implement Franklin’s CPA. The Town Council will enact a local bylaw and a Community Preservation Committee (CPC) will be formed. The state mandates that a designated representative must come from five town boards: the Historical Commission, the Planning Board, the Housing Authority, the Conservation Commission, and the Board of Park Commissioners or other town recreation committee. 

 

In addition, four more members may be appointed from the public, local government, or other municipal boards or committees. The CPC will accept applications for review and recommendation. At least 10% of each year's fund must be set aside for historical preservation, open space/recreation and affordable housing. The remaining 70% can be designated for any eligible category under CPA.

 

We are confident that many in Franklin have the foresight and energy to propose projects that can be submitted to the CPC. Next year will be the beginning of welcome changes to Franklin.

 

Monique B. Doyle

Chair, CPA for Franklin

Franklin Food Pantry: Thank you for showing us that we are all in this together

"The past few months have been challenging to say the least. In early March when we were faced with the start of the Covid-19 crisis we weren't sure what was going to happen. We didn't know how many new neighbors we'd need to welcome into our Pantry and we didn't know how we'd be able to serve them and all of our existing neighbors.

Almost overnight we were able to change our operations and serve our neighbors with a prepackaged bag of self stable foods, fresh produce and choice of protein via a drive up service. We were ready to help them and we will continue to be ready to serve throughout this pandemic and whenever this pandemic is over, we will be ready to serve all those who need this.

We couldn't do this without you. Through your generosity, you have helped us meet our neighbors' needs. Every donation coming in allows us to purchase fresh produce, shelf-stable food, proteins like frozen beef and chicken, and even bags to pack the food in. Your support also allows us to keep the lights on, fill the Pantry truck with gas, and keep our doors open for all who need us.

Our local businesses have also stepped up to help us. Thank you to:

• JH Pokory Associates
• CVS
• Target
• Thermo Fisher
• Wal-Mart

Again, thank you. This experience, while being so uncertain and sad, has also shown us such hope. Margaret Mead said it best, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

Your generosity and thoughtfulness is making Franklin just a little bit brighter. You inspire us everyday. Thank you for showing us - and the community - that we are all in this together. "

The St. Vincent de Paul would like to thank all who donated to this year’s Baby Bottle Drive. All of the funds received will go to the Abundant Hope Pregnancy Resource Center in Attleboro.

Your contributions make a significant difference in the lives of families in need.
Thank you for your willingness to help raise money and to support those in our community.

Lenten Offering

In observance of the season of Lent, our St. Vincent de Paul Society is asking people to consider bringing one item for the food pantry on each weekend of Lent.

Suggestions for each weekend are:

• February 24/25 - cereal
• March 3/4 - jars of spaghetti sauce
• March 10/11 - juices, coffee, cocoa
• March 17/18 - jelly, jam
• March 24/25 - canned tuna and chicken
• March 31/ April 1 - crackers and snacks

All donations may be placed in the boxes at the doors of the church on those weekends. Donations may also be dropped off anytime during the week. When a person calls St. Mary’s in need of food, two Vincentians pack up bags of food and bring them to the person. Thank you for helping us to make a difference in our corner of the world!

Franklin Food Pantry: Wow!

December 2017    Thank you!    Dear Friends, "Wow" is the word that comes to mind when I look back at the last few weeks of our busiest time of year. I am touched by a community that has such tremendous capacity to think of, and do for, others. The spirit of giving throughout the season was embraced by all ages. Davis Thayer students once again embarked on their trek through town to deliver goods to the Pantry. In the month of November alone, community groups held 30 food and fund drives bringing in 10,000 pounds of food! The Franklin Food Elves Campaign was the most successful drive in its 12-year history, giving us the means to purchase fresh food to supplement the product donations. The Franklin Turkey Trot broke all records with nearly 1,000 people coming out to support the Pantry.  On the receiving end of this generosity are 1,000 individuals, including nearly 300 children, who will be less hungry because of your gifts. They will have enough nutritious food to enjoy the holidays without the distraction of hunger. They will have access to food and personal care essentials throughout the winter because of your support in recent weeks. This week, when we finished our ham dinner distribution to more than 200 families, I felt a huge sense of pride in being part of such a giving community. A group of supporters, donors and volunteers, who made it possible for our clients to enjoy the comfort of a holiday meal with their loved ones. A compassionate community that continues to help us fight hunger. I cannot thank all of you enough. May you have an especially wonderful holiday season full of as much joy as you have brought to so many others. Erin  End-of-Year Giving Remember that the need continues long after the holidays are over. There's still time to make a donation before the end of the year. You can make a monetary gift online here; or mail a check payable to the Franklin Food Pantry to P.O. Box 116, Franklin, MA 02038. Mail that is postmarked by December 31 is tax-deductible for 2017. Thank you for your support! Additional leadership gift and corporate sponsor opportunities available, for details please email Erin Lynch erin@franklinfoodpantry.org Franklin Food Pantry       www.franklinfoodpantry.org  Our facility is generously donated by Rockland Trust. We are located at 43 West Central Street, Franklin MA, on Route 140 in the Rockland Trust parking lot,  across the street from the fire station.
