A Bittersweet Farewell: The Franklin Center For Innovation Prepares for Transition

Change is inevitable, and sometimes it comes with a touch of sadness. We have some news to share that brings mixed emotions: The Franklin Center For Innovation is embarking on a transition, but unfortunately, it involves moving everything to storage.

It's not easy to bid farewell to a space that has been the epicenter of creativity, collaboration, and innovation. Over the years, our center has become more than just a physical location; it's been a hub where ideas flourished, partnerships formed, and dreams took flight. However, as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of opportunities and challenges, we must adapt to new circumstances.

In light of this transition, we invite you to join us for two important dates:

1. Packing Day: Friday, April 5th (1 PM onwards)
Despite the somber nature of the occasion, on Friday, April 5th, starting at 1 PM, we'll gather to pack up our belongings and memories. We'll need all the help we can get, including spare boxes if you have any to spare. Your presence and support during this time will mean the world to us as we prepare to say goodbye to our current space.

2. Moving Day: Saturday, April 6th (9 AM onwards)
On Saturday, April 6th, starting at 9 AM, we'll come together once again to move everything to storage. While it's a daunting task to see the fruits of our labor boxed away, we're grateful for the opportunity to lean on each other during this transition.

We understand that this news may come as a disappointment, and we share in those sentiments. However, we're also hopeful for what the future holds. Though our physical space may change, the spirit of innovation that defines us remains unwavering.

As we prepare to bid adieu to our current location, we're reminded of the incredible moments we've shared and the countless lives we've touched. Though the walls may be empty soon, the memories and bonds forged within them will endure.

We extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who has been a part of our journey. Your unwavering support and dedication have been the driving force behind our success, and for that, we are eternally grateful.

While this chapter may be coming to a close, we're excited for the possibilities that lie ahead. Our commitment to fostering innovation and creativity remains steadfast, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you, wherever it may lead.

Thank you for being a part of our community, and we look forward to the next chapter, filled with new beginnings and endless opportunities.

With heartfelt gratitude, Jason R. Allen - Executive Director
