Franconia Dems hit
a grand slam on Opening Day!
The weather on April 20 was perfect, and that was just the start.
Thanks to Diane Williams and the planning committee, and hosts Liz Murphy and Mark Heinitz, everything went off without a hitch. And the silent auction was a huge success, too, under the direction of Carol Marek and Pat Bittner.
We’d like to thank everyone who contributed time, energy, food, grilling skills, auction items, canopies, tables, chairs and their presence. Thanks, too, to the elected officials, candidates and candidate representatives who attended and donated. Not only did we raise enough money to fund our 2024 initiatives, but working together helped many of us forge new friendships!
You will find more photos of the event on our Facebook page.
Thanks again to everyone who participated!
Franconia Gov Center site: final meeting May 6
Franconia District Supervisor Rodney Lusk will report back to the community on May 6 about a plan to build as many as 120 affordable housing units at 6121 Franconia Road, after the Franconia Governmental Center is relocated to the new Beulah Street site.
Two community meetings were held in April to hear from residents. At the Franconia Dems’ March Zoom meeting, Supervisor Lusk explained that many of the rental units would provide housing for public servants such as teachers, police officers and firefighters who work in our community but cannot afford to live here.
The May 6 meeting in the series will be held at John R. Lewis High School from 6 to 8 pm.
