She has cultivated a reputation as a daring and innovative songwriter with a killer live show that endeavors to weave old with new to create altogether new genres of music when existing ones do not suit her muse.

Her songs effortlessly slide between folk, jazz and pop, and are delivered with a sassy wit and classic midwestern charm. http://www.susanwerner.com/ "One of the most innovative songwriters working today." — Chicago Tribune "Susan Werner, a clever songwriter and an engaging performer, brings literacy and wit back to popular song." — The New Yorker Jim Henry and his daughter Ruby will open the show.  Jim is a world-class guitarist who has appeared at Circle of Friends many times.  His adult daughter Ruby has a gorgeous voice and they sound wonderful together.  http://www.jimhenry.net/ Jim will also be joining Susan on-stage.

Volunteers wanted: Rotary Club and Franklin Food Pantry Service Project - Nov 1

Volunteers wanted! Please join the Franklin Rotary Club as we partner with the Franklin Food Pantry on a community service project to supply cleaning supplies to members of our community who are in need.

One of the biggest needs for families that the Food Pantry serves is access to cleaning supplies, as food stamps do not cover the costs of these items. The Franklin Rotary Club needs help assembling buckets of cleaning supplies the Food Pantry can distribute to families to take home with them.

Here's how you can participate:

• Volunteers arrive at the Franklin Food Pantry, 43 West Central Street, at 5:00 PM
• Following the project, please join us at Incontro Restaurant at 860 West Central Street for pizza and beverages
• Email Scott Martin at scottm@hockymca.org if you can participate, or interested in learning more about the Franklin Rotary Club's community service projects.

In the News: Hopkinton adds unified basketball; kindergartener paints his finger nails

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"With a little more than seven minutes left on the clock in the first period of the Unified Sports basketball game at Hopkinton High, Max McNamara lines up a three-pointer and sinks it. 

He lifted his hands and jumped across the court as dozens cheered during the team’s first-ever home game against Worcester Tech. 

“Just like the last two games,” McNamara said of sinking the shot. The 17-year-old senior with autism enjoyed having his brother, Grant, referee the game and being cheered on by his sister, Emma. The three are triplets. 

Special Olympics Unified Sports programs promote social inclusion through sports by joining people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team, according to the organization. Hopkinton High launched the unified program last spring with a track team and added the basketball team this fall."

"With his chin held high, Sam Gouveia, 5, went back into his kindergarten classroom on Tuesday morning with more confidence and, of course, freshly painted fingernails. 

On Monday night, Sam’s father, Aaron, posted on his internationally popular Twitter account, DaddyFiles, about how his son had been ridiculed by his young classmates because of his painted nails that day. Though Aaron said he doesn’t blame the school or the teachers for the incident, he took to social media nonetheless. 

“I love painting my nails,” Sam said, laughing. “I’m just a crazy man, and it just looks pretty.”
