More than 100 Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School (BFCCPS) alumni and parents celebrated the retirement of their French teacher, Madame Mireille Malouf.
After 13 years teaching the French language Madame Malouf retired. On Friday evening July 8, 2021, the Franklin community of past BFCCPS students celebrated the retirement of their French teacher.
"Education starts at home" says Madame Malouf. In 2017, she was recognized as a Chevalier (Knight) in the Order of the French Academic Palms for her outstanding service and active expansion of French education and culture.
“Madame Malouf has inspired me” was a sentiment expressed by all the students. They took the time to show their gratitude for the gift of French language that Madame Malouf shared with them. Madame Malouf and her husband Dale were touched to meet and hear from all the wonderful students she taught. Madame Malouf signed off saying "I am honored to have taught those young men and women."
The event was organized by KP Sompally, Town Council candidate in 2020.

"The Franklin Cultural Council is looking for artisan vendors of all types. We reeeeeallllly want to support small, independent artists and businesses who were affected by the pandemic.
The word "ARTISAN" in this case is very broad. We will certainly have visual artists, but we will also have jewelry makers, artisan clothing, artisan foods, and so on.
This is a "juried" craft show which is to the vendor's advantage (we won't have 30 vendors all competing to sell jewelry, etc...)
We are expecting potentially 5,000 visitors. Booth fees for this month only are $75. "

Register of Deeds William P. O'Donnell today reminded Norfolk County homeowners who are struggling to pay their mortgage or facing foreclosure that there are consumer programs available to help them out. There has been an increase in notices to foreclosure and foreclosure deeds.
Register O'Donnell stated, "The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a great deal of upheaval in all our lives. Some more than others. Some of our neighbors have been furloughed or lost their jobs all together due to the economic impact resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. In the beginning of the pandemic, policy makers at the state and federal levels recognized the impact the pandemic was having on the ability of many to pay their mortgages and rents. A moratorium was put in effect which suspended foreclosure. However, this moratorium expired on October 17th."
"While the pandemic has been ongoing," stated O'Donnell, "The Norfolk Registry of Deeds has been working in close cooperation with Attorney General Maura Healey's office monitoring protections afforded to homeowners affected by the COVID-19 state of emergency through Chapter 65 of the Acts of 2020, Act Providing for a Moratorium on Evictions and Foreclosures During the COVID-19 Emergency as well as protections put in place by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, Pub L. 116-136, (the "CARES Act"). We are very sensitive to how this pandemic has caused upheaval in people's lives, and want to do our part to ensure compliance with the CARES Act."
To help those facing issues paying their mortgage, the Registry of Deeds has partnered with upstanding non-profit agencies by promoting their services when it comes to mortgage modification and foreclosure programs. Homeowners can contact Quincy Community Action Programs, (617) 479-8181 x-376 or NeighborWorks Housing Solutions at (508) 587-0950 x-46. Another option available is to contact the Massachusetts Attorney General's Consumer Advocacy and Response Division (CARD) at (617) 727-8400. O'Donnell stated, "All of these agencies provide a range of assistance from helping with the mortgage modification process, providing legal services, and offering credit counseling. For more information on these and other support options, go to the Registry's website www.norfolkdeeds.org, click on the Support tab and then click on the subtab that mentions Foreclosure Assistance."
Register O'Donnell also warned homeowners against falling prey to for-profit companies who offer loan modification and credit counseling services but charge an exorbitant fee. "Even in these times of COVID-19, unscrupulous for-profit foreclosure relief and mortgage modification companies are in some cases preying on vulnerable homeowners. They make unrealistic promises and charge a lot of money for doing so. If one of these companies is telling you something that is too good to be true, it probably is. Please check out any for-profit foreclosure relief and mortgage modification company before entering into a contract with them," noted O'Donnell.
Concluding his remarks, Register O'Donnell stated, "There are important discussions ongoing at the State House surrounding the foreclosures. Hopefully, state officials and stakeholders can come to a resolution that satisfies all parties. With the foreclosure moratorium rescinded, many individuals and families are faced with some very difficult decisions. It is truly tragic that so many are having issues paying their mortgages and facing foreclosure through no fault of their own. If you or a loved one are in this situation, it would be prudent to sit down with a reputable non-profit agency such as Quincy Community Action Programs, NeighborWorks Housing Solutions or the Massachusetts Attorney General's office to discuss what options are available. The Registry is always glad to help those facing a mortgage delinquency or foreclosure crisis by directing them to one of these fine agencies. Each of these organizations are there to serve your needs in a professional and honorable manner."
