Our speakers this month are Patti and Holden Thorp, two citizens who have greatly enriched our downtown along with the whole community.

We would also like to honor Patti and Holden for their support of our community with a food drive. Please bring donations of canned food and/or bucks for the Food Pantry. Shelves are bare at this time of year, but the need is great with children out of school and at home.

Gatherings of the Friends of the Downtown take place on the second floor of the Franklin Hotel. Coffee and conversation begin at 9:30, with our speakers starting promptly at 10 a.m. You'll also hear the latest downtown Comings, Goings and Rumors!
