Franklin's 250th Anniversary Celebration Committee · Meeting of February 26, 2026
Franklin's 250th Anniversary Celebration Committee unanimously establishes a historical topics subcommittee. Committee Chair Robert Brown announced that $25,000 of $50,000 in state-approved funds has been made available to the town, and that new Dean appointee Courtney Shimer will be voted onto the committee. The Budget/Fundraising Subcommittee has completed a fundraising letter and pledge sheet; the Communications Subcommittee will present logo options at the March 26 meeting; and the Events Subcommittee recommended Luciano's/King Philip/Lake Pearl as the venue for the 2028 gala, though a $1,000 deposit motion failed for lack of a second, prompting a separate meeting to resolve cost uncertainties.
