The All Night Party Committee would like to welcome parents of new and returning students to a new school year at Franklin High School. Whether your son or daughter is a Freshman, Sophomore or Junior the All Night Party committee needs you now. Your involvement contributes to the support of the present senior class and guarantees the continuation of this tradition for your future seniors.
This tradition was started in 1990 and is a gift to all seniors in celebration of their high school year. The graduates enjoy a fun-filled night that includes games, prizes and best of all the transformation of the high school into a magical place.
It takes the hard work of 400-500 volunteers and the support of the school community and business partnerships to make this event a success.
The party takes place at the high school on graduation night from 11 pm to 5 am. This year’s All Night Party will be on Friday, June 6th.
In the shadow of Gillette Stadium, the United Regional Young Professionals Organization (YPO) invites our members, their guests, as well as an open public invite to professionals in our local community to gather for our last networking event of the season. The event is a summer social to be held on June 18, 2014 at 6 PM at Twenty8, inside (and outside) the Renaissance Boston at Patriot Place Hotel and Spa.

Instead of catching a pass from Tom Brady, or lining up next to Vince Wilfork, guests can play games with a bit less contact, such as the kanjam, beanbag toss or ladder ball. And instead of waiting in line for refreshments from the concession stands, attendees will enjoy light appetizers with a cash bar featuring craft beers, cocktails, and other refreshments.
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll bring the fun indoors. There, attendees can play entertaining games like UNO, Skip-Bo, Yahtzee, and more, while enjoying food and drink.
The YPO is pleased to provide this unique opportunity to have fun, relax, and get to know each other, but we do so with a purpose. Money raised from ticket sales, raffle, and donations will benefit the Hockomock Area YMCA located in North Attleboro, Mass.
21+ event. Registration is $5.00 in advance, $10.00 at the door.

The United Regional Chamber of Commerce launched the United Regional Young Professionals Organization (YPO) in spring 2010 in direct response to the challenges facing the 16 communities in our region (Attleboro, Bellingham, Blackstone, Foxboro, Franklin, Mansfield, Medway, Medfield, Millis, Norfolk, North Attleboro, Norton, Plainville, Rehoboth, Seekonk and Wrentham, Massachusetts) in attracting and retaining diverse young professionals and to develop the next generation of leadership. The mission of YPO is to engage, connect and empower career-minded young professionals to evolve professionally. Representing diverse backgrounds, perspectives and professions, we are united by our energy, drive and passion within our careers and communities
The evidence is clear: A thriving creative sector is one of our Commonwealth's most powerful economic development assets. In support of this, the MCC’s Cultural Districts Initiative was authorized by an act of the Massachusetts state legislature in 2010, and launched in April 2011.
