Make time for Friday Night Soccer!
You may have heard that the Franklin HS Varsity Girls team is doing very well this season. They are currently undefeated with only 2 games to go in the regular season.
One of the games will be played this Friday night, Oct. 26th, at the FHS turf at 7:00pm. It is also Senior Night for the senior girls and parents.
This sounds like a good time to watch a soccer game and support the team!

Let's Light Up the town of Franklin this Year!
In conjunction with the Holiday Stroll on Thursday, November 29th, the Franklin Downtown Partnership would like to encourage you to decorate your store windows in an effort to create a festive atmosphere for the stroll and for the holiday season.

If you would like to be added to the list and join the festivities please e-mail our event coordinators Cindy Kozil or Roberta Trahan at ckozil@dean.edu roberta_icu1@verizon.net But hurry...we want to make sure you get included in the handouts.

10th Norfolk: candidates debate
The Milford Daily News writes about the final candidate debate for the 10th Norfolk District. I was unable to participate having already committed to the Taste of the Region for the Franklin Food Pantry. Jeff Roy did have time to stop by and make the rounds before heading over to Horace Mann for the debate.

The candidates, in a far less contentious debate than last week’s, pared down their ideas and focused on what they would do immediately to help residents of Franklin and Medway, from ramping up local aid to collecting more money for the towns’ school departments.
And in their last public meeting before Election Day, 13 days away, they took a few moments to reflect on their respective campaigns, sharing hardships and joys experienced in their months spent going door to door.
