Cultural Connections: "Engaging Your Community" - October 10

Cultural Connections, a free arts and culture roundtable, will be held Oct. 10 at 7:00 pm in the Community Room at the Franklin Public Library. Anyone interested in arts and culture, from any organization in any town, is invited to attend. 

The subject of this roundtable will be Engaging Your Community, which will build on their May meeting of Defining Your Community (though attendance at the previous meeting is not required). 

How do you effectively engage with those in your community? What have you tried that has worked well, and what has not? How is your engagement different through social media vs email vs in person at an event? Is it enough to engage with those already committed to your cause or organization? They will discuss all of these questions and more. 

Come share your thoughts on the subject. A great opportunity to network! To RSVP, go to http://bit.ly/ConnectionsOct

Charter School: September Expansion Update

"Over the summer break our construction crew at our new site at 500 Financial Park drive has been hard at work. Steel delivery took place in early July and as you will see the physical construction of the building has commenced. 

Please enjoy aerial footage of the project taken in late August; you can see the outline of the building in orange steel, as well as the construction of the second floor in grey. The building will be complete in the spring of 2019 and will open for the 2019-2020 school year."
