Franklin Cultural Council looking for Franklin nonprofits in Arts & Culture arena for "Community Culture Lane" - Sep 10

Hi Franklin community,

The Franklin Cultural Council is looking for a few extra non-profits to participate in the upcoming Franklin Cultural Festival, slated for Saturday, September 10 from 12-6 PM.

We've created a section of the festival called the  "Community Cultural Lane". This area will feature non-profit Arts & Cultural booths that would like to promote themselves and educate the community about their services.

• Booths must fit under the arts and cultural "umbrella".
• Organizations must provide their own tent and table.
• Informational pamphlets and materials are encouraged.
• Games with prizes or interactive booths are encouraged.
• Booths are not allowed to sell products or fund raise in any way.

We are really excited to provide space for this! Franklin has so many incredible arts and cultural organizations. For our community to see them all lined up in one area will be really enlightening! 

Please reach out to us at: franklinculturalcouncil02038@gmail.com

 "Community Unity" returns as theme for the Franklin Cultural Festival - Sep 10

How to use #FranklinCAN(fill in the blank)

Franklin is a caring community. It has been known to come out, to show up, to support when needed. Time, and time again.

Members of the Franklin Area Nonprofit Network (FANN) need to take advantage of this to accomplish what each organization is focused on. The FANN will help in that effort.

 

#Franklin community action now (CAN) is a simple way for all nonprofits to help each other spread the work on each other's fund raising efforts, events, etc.

1. When community action is needed, your organization can plan accordingly. Devise whatever is required for fund raising, collection, pick up, etc.
2. As you communicate to your followers, send the event, or action to the FANN. We'll put it on the calendar
3. As you create your social media campaign, figure out how to add #FranklinCAN (fillin the blanks) to your social posts. What (fill in the blank) makes sense for this event, action, etc for you/your organization
4. Mark your social media communications with the hashtag #FranklinCAN(fill in the blank)
5. FANN members can set up a Google alert for #FranklinCAN to find out what is happening
6. The FANN and other members can share that hashtag to help spread the word on your effort

So easy!

 

You do what you need to do and with the #FranklinCAN(fill in the blank) hashtag, the FANN can help spread the word to make your event or effort more successful.

What connection does Icelandic hotdogs have with the FANN?

Steve Sherlock will own up to this one. He had the opportunity to take a trip around the Ring Road of Iceland during August 2021. Yes, during the pandemic, it almost didn’t happen and they were quite grateful that it did. The full story of the trip will be told another time. He will elaborate on how hotdogs do connect to the Franklin Area Nonprofit Network and the Community Action Now hashtag.

For those that miss the meeting, there will be a recap. For those who can make it, hopefully you will appreciate the connection!
