Save The Date - May 17th - PMC Fundraiser


On Friday May 17th, we are having our Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) fundraiser at the Franklin Country Club, which will include dinner and entertainment. The entertainment is absolutely hysterical. 
Yes, we are having Jim Spinnato back again this year, the R - Rated Hypnotist / Comedian. It is a great night out. For those of you who attended last year, you know the show is nonstop laughter…. and the best thing is….. you don’t have to travel to the CT Casino’s (where he regularly sells out) and spend a lot of money. I really hope that you can attend. 
I will get back to you with more details…. But please save the date and please spread the word and invite neighbors, friends and family. We need to pack the house again this year.

"To me, life’s just too short"



In February, Drengberg, under the pen name P.L. Byers, might have become the first CEO in the defense industry to publish a romance novel. 
“Divine Intervention,” her first self-published book, revolves around a harrowing plane crash that brings together the only two survivors. 
“I enjoy these types of stories because much of what I do for a living is reading defense contracts,” she said, sitting in front of The Cake Bar on a recent afternoon. “When you’re done with that, you want to read something that makes you feel good, that’s light and has a good ending. Romance novels put me in another world, where I’m not thinking about helicopters …” 
Drengberg, who lives in Franklin with her husband, Mark, read romance novels feverishly as a young girl. Her first was Kathleen Woodiwiss’s “The Flame and the Flower,” which sparked her interest in writing.

MassBudget: cuts to Early Education & Care in the House proposal

Cuts to Early Ed. & Care in the House Budget
Quality Early Education & Care helps prepare kids for school, and has been shown to have far-reaching effects on reading proficiency, graduation rates, and even future earnings. It also helps gives parents the flexibility they need to find and keep jobs.


MassBudget's new brief, "Cuts to Early Education & Care in the House Budget for FY 2014" analyzes the House proposal for Early Education and finds that:

  • The House budget would cut funding for Early Ed. & Care by $11 million. This comes on top of years of funding reductions following the income tax cuts of 1998-2002.

  • The Governor's earlier proposal would have invested $130 million of new tax revenue to clear a long wait-list for child care and improve the overall quality of Early Ed. & Care

"Cuts to Early Education & Care in the House Budget for FY 2014" is part of a series of MassBudget briefs analyzing key elements in the budget proposals for FY 2014. It is also one of a number of recent MassBudget reports on Early Education & Care in Massachusetts, including:



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.
