Community Volunteer Network WELCOME! …to our Volunteer Network! We have seen such great improvements to our community in the last few years and I wish to take this time to thank the citizens of New Franklin for their continued support and involvement in our efforts to keep New Franklin a safe, clean, and enjoyable place to live! We currently have many civic volunteers participating on various committees, boards, and work groups. With every volunteer doing his or her small part the results have been magnificent! Here are some of the areas where we still need more volunteers. If you are interested, please e-mail us or call (660) 848 2288 during weekdays. If you have other ideas for volunteers, we'd like to hear from you. C Frank Frevert Mayor   PARK BOARD   Park Spruce-Up Dayin May was a success. Co-sponsored for many years by AmerenUE!
