Our first meeting of the year is a perfect opportunity to have fun while you make some connections in your community. We are a multi-generational club with an emphasis on fun and camaraderie. 

As a member driven organization . . . your ideas count and we want to hear them! We offer a wide range of activities for all ages and interests.

Find us upstairs at “3”. Complimentary appetizers and beverages are provided.

We invite any resident of Franklin, or a surrounding town that doesn't have a Newcomers Club, to join us the 2nd Wednesday of the month (occasionally we switch Wednesdays to accommodate holidays or speakers). We run our meetings September through May.

MBTA Notice: T-Alerts Account Transition - old alerts turned off at end of August

Dear T-Alerts Subscriber,

We recently rebuilt our T-Alerts system from the ground up to make it easier to sign up for alerts relevant to your trips.

And, after a testing phase, we're ready to roll it out to everyone. As part of this process, we need to turn off the old T-Alerts system at the end of August—which means you'll stop receiving any alerts you signed up for with this system.

To continue receiving service alerts, you will need to sign up for T-Alerts Beta.

Learn more about T-Alerts Beta  https://mbta.com/about-t-alerts-beta

Sign up for T-Alerts Beta  
https://beta.alerts.mbta.com/?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_campaign=email

If you've already signed up for T-Alerts Beta, that's great! You don't need to do anything else right now.

Note: Signing up for a T-Alerts Beta will not automatically delete your previous T-Alerts account. To prevent duplicate alert notices, you may want to delete your account now.
