MaconSense, a non-partisan organization promoting civic engagement and community service projects, will present a program at 12 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 13, at the Tartan Hall in Franklin. The program is sponsored by the Macon County League of Women Voters.

The goal is to give everyday people a voice in where the county is heading, free from political posturing and heated rhetoric. Their first campaign is for safe slope development and promotion of commonsense regulation. Group organizers Michael Jackson and Kathy Tinsley will speak.

Lunch is available by reservation. For more information, call 828.371.0527 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
