Town Council recap: Ag Commission, Fire Captain sworn in, robot enters the Chamber, Electric Youth perform
The Town Council meeting Wednesday was one of the most varied and entertaining meetings in a long time.
FSPA's Electric Youth sang a song as part of their annual visit before heading to their annual tour in Europe.
Fire Captain Darrell Griffin was sworn in by Town Clerk Teresa Burr
The Agriculture Commission presented an update on what they have done since they were formally approved last year.
The 4H Alarm Robotics Club presented an overview of their operation and educational mission. They will lease the Red Brick School as their base of operations in Franklin. They had been located in the old Thompson Printing building (until it was torn down) and recently in another location in Bellingham but wanting to return to Franklin.
After the Council approved of the lease arrangement, their robot entered the Chamber to deliver the pen for the signing ceremony. With some technical difficulty they did demonstrate the robots movements and capabilities along with how the team operated under pressure and recovered from problems.

United Regional Chamber of Commerce: 2019 Golf Outing and Tournament - June 17
2019 Golf Outing and Tournament at Norton Country Club - June 17
NEW FORMAT and PRIZES!
We are looking forward to returning to Norton Country Club, on June 17, for our Annual Golf Tournament. Now's the time to register!
Have a Fun Day of Golf with Friends... And Win Great New Prizes
Come Play Our New Format on June 18th at Norton Country Club
We are also moving to a modified scramble or bramble as it is sometimes called. Each player will hit a tee shot and then the team will pick the best tee shot and everyone will hit from that spot. From that point, every player will play their own ball and then write down the best score.
Another change this year is that we are replacing our raffle at the end of the tournament with raffle baskets. Now you can buy tickets to win a great assortment of prizes in one basket. Tickets will be available right at registration so don't wait to buy those tickets. If you are interested in donating a basket or items to put in a basket please contact the chamber and let us know.
Schedule:
To register, please call the Chamber office at 508-316-0861.

Franklin Wine Club: Exploring The South African Winery Post House
Exploring The South African Winery Post House
A Franklin Wine Club Event
June 13 - 7 PM
Post House wines are perhaps the darkest colored wine to be found anywhere. The objective is to interfere as little as possible in the creation of the wine making process. They use traditional wine making methods including natural yeast fermentation, basket pressing and no fining or filtering.
Come and explore South African wine and this great winery!
This is a sit down wine tasting/educational event held in the Franklin Liquors wine room
RSVP is required
cost is $5
