It's time to spruce up for a new season. Downtown Franklin's Winter Decorating Day is set for Saturday November 21 at 9 a.m. Volunteers are needed to help clear out old plants and replace with fresh seasonal greens and decorations from 9 a.m. to Noon. Volunteers will meet at 9 a.m. at the municipal parking lot near The Rome restaurant, dressed for the weather, with work gloves. Please contact Volunteer Coordinator Sandy Sauer at [email protected] or 508-528-2713 ext. 1230, to sign up.

FHS Boys and Girls Hockey teams will be volunteering again. More help is always appreciated from community members of all ages. Students: if you have community service hours to satisfy, this is the perfect opportunity to earn your hours. You will get a note documenting your service.

The day is organized by Eileen Mason, Beautification Committee Chair for the Franklin Downtown Partnership, a Franklin Garden Club member who also organizes downtown Spring Beautification.
