Thank you to everyone who was involved with the Road Race on Saturday. It was great team effort. The day was a success with over 80 runners and Representative Jeff Roy in attendance, and it helped raise important operating capital for the trail effort.
The Committee will have its regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, May 14, 2012 at the YMCA in Franklin at 7:30 pm. Attached is the agenda and minutes from the last meeting. At this meeting we will have a special presentation from Charlie Tracy of the Nation Park Service about the Friends of the SNETT committee, a recap of the road race, and a discussion about upcoming events with the Franklin Downtown Partnership. The meeting is open, and we hope you will consider attending to learn more about the Rail Trail effort in Franklin and Bellingham.
