Hello Everyone
It's been wonderful talking with you all weekly on Fridays - but alas- the time must come to an end. As of this upcoming Monday March 20th the Franklin Senior Center will be back to "normal" and fully open.
The Ben's Bounty Gift Shop is planning to open Wednesday, March 22nd. The Senior Center library and area around the fireplace are still going to be temporarily blocked off, but we have set up a faux library down in the computer lab for your reading pleasure.
Again, as of this upcoming Monday, we are back open and back to following the March Senior Connection Newsletter schedule! Thank you all for your patience and understanding during this time, and looking forward to seeing everyone!
Happy St. Patrick's Day and have a great weekend

FM #957 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 957 in the series.
This session of the radio show shares my conversation with Ted McIntyre, Franklin resident and climate activist via the Zoom conference bridge Tuesday, February 21, 2023. We were joined by Avery Palardy, the Sustainability Program Manager at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
You’ll also hear that there is a family connection that I need to disclose as a procedural matter. Avery and her team were recognized for their accomplishments and as you’ll hear, we had a great discussion.
In this episode we covered the following topics:
Steve & Ted exchange greetings
Steve sets the stage, we are joined today by a family connection, his niece Avery Palardy
Avery shares her ‘short story’ on how she got to this position at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
 |
| spotlight on the cover for Avery Palardy |
Supply chain (Scope 1, 2, & 3)
Single use equipment, tools
The Cool food pledge
anesthetic gases, and reducing loss through leaks
We reveal an ongoing learning opportunity in the course of the discussion
This discussion continues our journey understanding the MA roadmap toward net zero and while it helps me “make sense of climate”, we hope it helps with your understanding as well.
If you have climate questions or Franklin specific climate questions, send them in and we’ll try to answer them in a future session.
Our recording runs about 45 minutes. Let’s listen to my conversation with Ted and Avery

Microbrewery 67 Degrees Brewing today proudly announced it will open and host The Cellar by 67 Degrees at the Wrentham Village Premium Outlets next month. The beer garden and service area will provide Wrentham and the surrounding community with a rotating line of the brewery’s popular craft beers from April 8 through the end of November.The Cellar by 67 Degrees is the first beer garden of its kind to be opened at the popular Wrentham Outlets, and marks the latest expansion by Franklin-based and minority-owned 67 Degrees. The Cellar will cater to the shoppers, residents, and visitors who enjoy Wrentham and the surrounding communities in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Located in the center of the shopping complex, and with ample parking, accessible facilities, and dining options for all, the beer garden is the latest addition to the rejuvenated Premium Outlets.“As a leading small business in Franklin and member of my Small Business Advisory Council, 67 Degrees Brewing brings vibrancy and innovation to our community. To have a growing and minority owned business take root and expand to such an important location in our Commonwealth is long overdue and refreshing to see,” said Senator Becca Rausch (D-Needham). “I look forward to visiting The Cellar at the Wrentham Village Premium Outlets and driving support for shopping and dining locally at an additional location within our district.”“Small business is the heart of our region, and among the most critical pieces of our community,” said Massachusetts State Representative Jeffrey Roy. “The growth of 67 Degrees Brewing reflects its leadership, products, and service. It’s a company that’s easy to support, and I look forward to its opening at the Wrentham Village Premium Outlets.”
