"You can learn from your past"
"We learned we can make a difference," said Waite, who plans to participate in an internship with the Franklin Police Department later this school year. "We can help."
Former Patriots players Gino Cappelletti, Larry Garron and Roland James spoke to Waite and about 50 of his classmates at The Hall at Patriot Place. The students are participating in a leadership development class designed to prepare them for internships during the last quarter of the school year.
In addition to hearing from Patriots alumni, the students were asked to think critically about what qualities make a good leader and how to combat prejudice. They also toured the exhibits in The Hall, a museum located next to Gillette Stadium that chronicles the football team's history.Read the full article in the Milford Daily News here

K. TOWN ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
Thanks to all the town employees on the roof clearing, real team effort, Fire, DPW and Schools to remove snow. No reason for concern, everything under control. There are roof leaks in several buildings
Snow removal has exceeded $1 M. We have some stabilization money to handle more if necessary
Budget still a work in progress, numbers being developed. Hopefully, in March should have some.better numbers to work with.
The process at the State level in prior years has changed, we are still anticipating getting a good number to work with for local aid. The remainder of the budget at the State level may not be finalized until July. I am not ready to come out and give you a state aid number until the Senate and the House provide some indication
L. OLD BUSINESS - none
M. NEW BUSINESS - none
N. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Jones - the contractors had a very good turnout for the Stretch Code workshop held today at the Municipal Bldg. Could the councilors get a copy of what was handed out today?
Pfeffer - have we received a report from the 4th of July Committee?
Nutting - not yet, it is requested but not yet received.
Pfeffer - maybe someone with a cell phone could take a photo of the cars using the handicap parking spot to send to the police
February is Heart Month - Friends of Franklin, St Mary's Food Pantry or St Vincent dePaul.
Congratulations to Glen Jones and family on their new addition.
