Subcommittee approves merchandise working group for Strawberry Stroll event.
Franklin's 250th Anniversary Celebration Committee · Meeting of April 12, 2026
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.
All 250th Anniversary events require private funding; the group is building a mailing list and reviewing sponsorship materials against best practices from other municipalities.
