Franklin's 250th Anniversary Budget Subcommittee expedites merchandise sales for Strawberry Stroll through informal working group. Members Belcher and Brennan will oversee purchasing alongside two Communications Committee representatives, avoiding formal subcommittee status to sidestep Open Meeting Law compliance. The subcommittee also expanded donor outreach to smaller businesses, with Joyce adding names and Brunelli updating the corporate fundraising spreadsheet.
