Tegra Medical employees help 2 local charities

October 2016 was a busy month for the employees of Tegra Medical in Franklin, MA which consists of employees from both Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Employees raised money and goods for two local charities. 

The generous outpouring of support benefited:

• Crossroads Rhode Island, the largest homeless service organization in Rhode Island. Tegra Medical sent them a check for $1,500.

• Vision and Fraternity Ministries, an organization that helps those in need in the Rhode Island area. Employees collected a huge quantity of gloves, hats, coats, baby food, diapers, non-perishable food and clothing.

Employees who donated more than three items to Vision and Fraternity Ministries were entered into a raffle for a vacation day.

The photos attached show the Grim Reaper assisting with the Crossroads RI fundraiser which sold Halloween bags filled with tricks or treats, as well as the impressive collection of goods for Vision and Fraternity Ministries.

"trusted in the common sense of school administrators"

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"The Franklin School Committee is one step closer to adopting a new dress code for the district's schools. 

The committee on Tuesday night approved the first reading of the code, which has been reviewed in the last few months to ensure consistency across schools and equal treatment of students. 

Policy subcommittee chairwoman Mary Jane Scofield said her group had sought parent feedback on the policy at a two-hour meeting in October. She said that meeting had gone well, and that some alterations had been made in its wake."
