Franklin Art Association at Stony Brook - May 4th and 5th


For the first time ever, the Franklin Art Association is partnering with the Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary to produce an art show on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5, complete with bin sales, live landscape painting demonstrations, and complimentary food and beverages. 
Stony Brook, a sprawling 86-acre panorama of New England Wildlife, is part of the Mass Audubon Society. 
Doug Cannon, a Stony Brook employee in charge of coordinating the show, is thrilled about the newfound relationship between Stony Brook and the FAA. 
“We are excited for a few reasons: We definitely want to work more with local organizations, and the Franklin Art Association originally came out here to use the space to paint on their own. When we saw that, we thought it’d be a great idea to use the grounds as a jumping-off place for their art and their shows,” Canon said.

"a foretaste of things to come"


Realtor Warren Reynolds writes:
Demographic trends are very powerful forces in the social and economic development of any society. In every decade of the latter half of the 20th Century, the US experienced the profound influence of the Baby Boom generation (both for the good and the bad). Now we may stand poised to benefit in coming decades from the economic and social vitality about to be unleashed by the Millennial Generation as they come of economic age. There are many reasons for optimism about our futures!

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.
