On April 14, 2011, the Senate approved a resolution declaring its intent to fund Chapter 70 and Unrestricted General Government Aid at levels not less than the amounts appearing in the House Ways and Means Committee's budget.

What does this mean?

This means that the numbers from the House Ways and Means Budget released earlier can be used with some confidence in planning for the Franklin budget.

Community Gardens Update

Hi Everyone,

Happy Spring! We have been really busy with garden business and we have several updates to share with you.

The biggest piece of news is that the Town of Franklin has established a community garden committee! The first meeting of the Franklin Community Garden Committee will be held on April 21, 2011 at 9 AM in the Franklin Municipal building in room 205. All of the town committee meetings are open to the public. Future meetings will most likely be scheduled for the evening, however, the Town Clerk will be swearing in the committee members so the first meeting has been planned during business hours.

The agenda will be posted soon, and will be available for viewing on this page:
http://town.franklin.ma.us/Pages/FranklinMA_MeetingsCal/S016F4FC2-016F54EC?formid=161

Meanwhile, we have established the Friends of Franklin Community Gardens to partner with the Franklin Community Gardens Town Committee. The Friends will help by providing financial support for materials and supplies needed to build the garden, as well as educational and enrichment programs to benefit our entire community.

Whether you are hoping for a garden space for yourself or your community group, seeking to volunteer for the initial Build Day or future garden work days, helping the Franklin Food Pantry Giving Garden team, supporting the Friends as a member, donor, sponsor, or volunteer, or any/all of the above, we hope everyone is as excited as we are to see the garden become a reality this year!

Please be on the lookout for upcoming emails containing information on garden sign-ups, volunteer opportunities, the Friends of Franklin Community Gardens, and more. In the meantime, please visit us on the web at: www.franklincommunitygardens.org . Thank you for your interest and support!

In health and springtime,

Amy, Chris, Nicole, Lauren, Deb, and Teresa
