Franklin TDA Board Retreat 10-08-2012

**10.30pm** The video of tonight's meeting is still uploading but should be available for vewing by 11.30pm.

The Franklin Tourism Development Authority will not be having a regular meeting this month. Instead, they will be having a board retreat at the same place and time that they regularly meet. An agenda has not been provided to me, so I cannot share one with you.

I will be there to record the meeting and will be providing nearly live play by pay on Google Plus [LINK]. I will post the video of the meeting as soon as I can.

**5:34pm** Here is a copy of an agenda that I received before the meeting. Any errors in transcription are mine.
