Many Thanks to Franklin Farm Volunteers

Franklin Farm’s Volunteer Reception, held at the Still Pond Community Center on Friday, May 8, paid tribute to all those board and committee volunteers who gave their time and talents in service to the community during the past year.

Sincere thanks go to Monica Despins and the members of the Election Committee, sponsors of the event; to Franklin Farm staffers; and to Heritage Landscape Services, who donated the door prizes.

Attendees at this popular event were treated to an array of Mexican goodies, cool drinks, and lively conversation. President Paul Dykeman presented a service plaque to Sandy Phillips in recognition of her long-standing service as co-chair of the Pool Committee.

The Election Committee of the Franklin Farm Foundation shall be responsible for all election activities.  These shall include the yearly elections of both the Board of Trustee positions up for election and all the Neighborhood Boards as well as any general vote of all the members of the Foundation at the annual meetings.
