Franklin Tomorrow, Friends of Parks in new offices
Franklin Tomorrow, Inc., and Friends of Franklin Parks, LLC, celebrated the opening of their new suite of offices at 198 E. Main St., Suite 3, in the Cadence Bank building in downtown Franklin on Feb. 15.
Cutting the ribbon were Franklin Tomorrow, Inc., Board President Kathie Moore, Friends of Franklin Parks Board of Governors President Dr. Monty McInturff and representatives and ambassadors of the Williamson County Franklin Chamber of Commerce. Franklin Mayor Ken Moore and City Administrator Eric Stuckey attended as well as aldermen and county commissioners.
The ribbon cutting drew a large crowd and was the first in a series of event to be held at the new location, which includes staff offices and a board room. The recently updated goals and strategies decided by the citizens in Franklin Tomorrow's 2011 Vision Fair process are outlined in poster boards, donated by Barge Waggoner Sumner & Cannon Inc.
Franklin Tomorrow Board Member Debbie Smartt, whose artistic expressions of Franklin and especially its downtown are drawing rave reviews, has hung several pieces of her art in the office, which is on the second floor of the Cadence Building and may be reached by an elevator or stairs.
Smartt has offered 20% of the proceeds of the sale of any piece of art on display in the office as a donation to Franklin Tomorrow or Friends of Franklin Parks, LLC.
Franklin Tomorrow has a "wish list" of items for the new office, including a projector for presentations, a half-size refrigerator, chairs for the entry way, and other items of decor. Please email Franklin Tomorrow Executive Director Mindy Tate or Development Coordinator Ellyn Echols if you have items which you wish to donate. A gift receipt can be provided for all donations since Franklin Tomorrow is an established 501(c)3.
Following the ribbon cutting, Franklin Tomorrow partnered with The Tennessean's Brainstorm Nashville project for a "Tweet-up," where those attending learned more about Twitter and how to use it to communicate. This was the first in a new series for Franklin Tomorrow, which will be called "Franklin Tonight."
Those attending the Tweetup also specifically learned more about the Brainstorm Nashville project, which seeks to build a digital community to offer solutions to regional issues. Follow Franklin Tomorrow on Twitter at franklin2morrow, and follow this link to follow The Tennessean.
