Franklin Food Pantry

Rockland Trust this week announced its continued support of the Franklin Food Pantry with a $43,200 donation to renew the pantry’s rent-free lease for the fifth consecutive year. The food pantry provides between 2,600 and 3,200 pounds of food to area residents each week. In addition to providing the Franklin Food Pantry with rent-free space, Rockland Trust recently concluded a month-long food drive throughout its entire service area in Massachusetts, including its new Metro North communities and Greater Providence. As part of the food drive, which ran throughout April, the bank also donated more than $13,750 to local food banks.

Even AARP says you need to use social media to find your next job!

Using one or more of the social media tools to find work these days is becoming more and more of a requirement. The recent AARP Bulletin, (yes, I am that old (although young at heart!) has the cover article titled "Why you need social media to find your dream job"

AARP article on going social to look for work

If you are 40+ and looking for work today, you need to be using LinkedIn, Facebook, and other social media tools. Why? The recruiters are using those tools to check you out. If you don't have a good presence there, they will simply skip by you.

There are naysayers who claim you don't need to use these tools. I would agree it is not absolutely required for every industry or skilled position but it is becoming more so.

One item in the recent and local Franklin news makes this point. Brittany MacLeod just graduated from Marist College in NY. She was a Franklin High School grad and served as the student representative to the School Committee for two years. This spring her mother heard about Australia running a campaign for #bestjob. Brittany found out and started her campaign. This young lady from little Franklin, MA rose to the top 3 in the world out of 600,000 candidates!

On Wednesday Jun 5th, she was hosted at the MA State House and presented a proclamation wishing her the best of luck. In the evening, she received similar treatment from the Franklin Town Council. Do you think something like that might help your job application?

As this is posted, she is in Australia courtesy of the Australian Board of Tourism running the job search to prove herself as one of the three finalist for "Chief Funster". She'll find out June 20th if she'll be moving down under to start her career.

Will the YouTube videos, blog posts, tweets, Instagram pictures, that she used to help create the buzz around her campaign work for you?  Maybe all of them won't but one or more of them just might give you the edge you need to rise out of the pack.

The Job Search Jam Sessions being held this Friday, Jun 14 will feature one or more sessions on these social media tools. You'll be able to update your LinkedIn profile picture (photographer on site).

So what are you waiting for?

Get to the Job Search Jam Sessions webpage to find out what else is happening.
http://jobsearchjamsessions.blogspot.com/

While there check out the results of the three prior JSJS events (2 in 2012, and one in 2011). For $8 you can afford to find out how to use these social media tools to get your next position.

MassBudget: Declining value of the minimum wage for tipped workers

MassBudget    Information.    Participation.  Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center    Democracy. Minimum Wage for Tipped Workers A strong minimum wage helps workers support their families, and it can bolster our economy by increasing the amount of money workers have to spend at local businesses. In the case of workers who regularly earn tips, like waiters and hairdressers, employers are only required to pay what's called the "tipped minimum wage," which in Massachusetts is well below the regular minimum wage (it is currently $2.63). The law then requires that for any such worker, the combination of hourly pay and tips must be at least as high as the full minimum wage. Our new factsheet, "The Declining Value of the Tipped Minimum Wage in Massachusetts," tracks the history of the tipped minimum wage and finds that: Since 1968, the value of the tipped minimum wage has fallen by 58% Massachussets has the lowest tipped minimum wage in New England Nationwide, about 73% of all tipped workers are women In those states where the tipped minimum wage is above the federal minimum, the number of tipped workers living in poverty is lower. And the difference is especially dramatic in states where the tipped minimum wage is the same as the regular minimum wage. "The Declining Value of the Tipped Minimum Wage in Massachusetts" is part of MassBudget's ongoing analysis of the Massachusetts minimum wage. Other recent reports include: What's It Worth?: The Value of the Minimum Wage in Massachusetts Who is Affected by the Minimum Wage? The Minimum Wage and Job Creation Futures of the Minimum Wage - an interactive tool showing the effect of various proposals Read THE DECLINING VALUE OF THE TIPPED MINIMUM WAGE IN MASSACHUSETTS See OUR RECENT WORK ON THE MINIMUM WAGE The Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center (MassBudget) produces policy research, analysis, and data-driven recommendations focused on improving the lives of low- and middle-income children and adults, strengthening our state's economy, and enhancing the quality of life in Massachusetts.

"These were exploratory-type conversations"

In the Town Council meeting last Wednesday, the final approval was received for the medical marijuana zoning changes. Franklin is now prepared for a business looking to locate here.

Its "Medical Marijuana Use Overlay Districts" are spread out on or near Forge Parkway, National Drive, Kenwood Circle and Constitution Boulevard. Located south and west of Interstate 495, they fall within the town’s industrial zone. 

Incidentally, the industrial zone also contains an "Adult Use Overlay District" designated for adult entertainment businesses, such as strip clubs and risqué bookstores. 

According to the town’s regulations, a registered dispensary, the nonprofit company where the drug can be cultivated and sold to patients who’ve received approval from a doctor to use it, could not set up shop within 200 feet of a residential zoned district, school, library, church, child-care facility, park or playground.

Recently they signed an agreement with the Town of Franklin to install a solar farm. The Town Council voted in November 2012 to approve the deal.  http://www.franklinmatters.org/2012/11/real-time-reporting-legislation.html

Mt St Mary's Abbey - solar farm

I stopped by on Sunday to grab these photos of the construction underway for this solar farm.

Mt St Mary's Abbey - solar farm 2

The frames are sturdy and follow the contour of the ground.  Completely installed the farm is reported to generate 6 megawatts of electricity.

Mt St Mary's Abbey - solar farm 3

The galvanized steel (?) is shining in the sunlight. When the panels are installed the sunlight will be generating electricity.

Seven Years STRONG

View on the web Click here

Hey Steve  This month, my "baby" is celebrating its 7th anniversary! I know....time flies! It would be an understatement to say that it was a lot of hard work to made Shades IN Place come this far. Looking back, I decided to list the seven biggest reasons that I believe have helped the most in keeping us alive. Just a side note: there is absolutely no order of importance and all the reasons somewhat interconnect to one another. HAVING FUN - I enjoy meeting new people and learning about how they live, their culture and how each individual sees their lives. I meet some very wealthy and bright minds and it fascinates me when I am able to provide a solution for them. It puts a smile on my face. GOING THE EXTRA SEVERAL MILES - Because I was a long haul truck driver in the past, to me, no job is too far. If my clients like my work so much that they trust me working on their vacation homes, why would I say no? For those "far away jobs" I bring Ana along for the ride and buy her a nice dinner at the end of the day.  At this point I have completed work in all six New England states plus NY. BILLBOARD ON WHEELS - if you don't promote your business how people will know about it? To me, every moment is an opportunity. I even got a nice job because the girl at the bakery shop saw my shirt and said: "Oh, you do curtains? Please call my friend." The "friend" was a nice high end contractor...go figure!  NEVER STOP LEARNING - I was called on a job in Boston for some hard to reach windows a few years back. The guy showed me the windows and what he wanted. Then I said "Sure, I can do it".  He said "NO, YOU CAN'T!"  And he followed "there were four companies before you and they all said no!"  Well, because I keep myself on top of the industry, I was able to provide a solution for his challenging windows. SUPPORT FROM ANA - If you are married you know.... no man can work 15 - 18 hour days for too long without getting complaints from the wife. But my wife Ana is unique and she was aware that she was marring a workaholic guy. Ok, I admit, she is slowly changing me. I now "only" work 14 hours day max. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION DRIVEN - My motto is "if you are happy, I am happy." And I also live by the principle of "treat people the way you would like to be treated." I am so shocked when people thank me for returning their call - it's my obligation to at least let you know if I can help you or not. LOVE CHALLENGES - this is my favorite! The harder, the more complicated the tallest the better...Some professionals like to make money the easy way. I, on the other hand, must be an exception because I LOVE the challenges and to solve problems other companies avoid confronting. Three years ago, one of my competitors called asking if I was interested in doing a job on behalf of his company. He said that none of his installers could do the job. Well, I did. Imagine that - even my competitors HIRE me! Thanks again for supporting Shades IN Place, Ana and me!   Now, if you want a piece of the birthday cake too you must be the SEVENTH person to call 508-520-6700 and sing "Happy Birthday". Ok...ok...if you are shy like me, you can email me your congratulations. It will count as well. See you again in seven years... Oh, wait! No, see you next month!     Roger Magalhaes  Shades IN Place, Inc. SHOWROOM HOURS Tue - 10am - 5pm Thru - 10am - 5pm Sat - 10am - 3pm *** Buy More...$ave More ***  Spring is in the air.And so is the several projects around the house.

"If the music stops, keep dancing"

The Milford Daily News reports on the graduation at Tri-County by writing:

The Superintendent-Director of Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School applauded the hard work the graduating class of 2013 had done to reach this moment in their lives. He also commended the parents for all their support. 

"Sometime today you should thank them for caring so much about you," Dockray encouraged the graduates under a bright blue sky Sunday, when 223 students received their diplomas and trade certificates at Tri-County's 34th commencement exercises. 

The hard work of the graduates has not gone unnoticed. More than $60,000 in scholarships has been awarded to those choosing to further their academic careers.
