Franklin Pond celebrates and thanks ALL the mothers (and dads) who have encouraged, cajoled, consoled, schlepped, and been proud of their kids through music lessons, rehearsals, auditions, and performances for many years. BRAVO to you – we all couldn’t make it without you.
This was our family’s Mothers’ Day gift from writer Sally Gable and Buckhead/North Perimeter LifeStyle. Stay well and think to the future. It’s bright out there!
