Ben Franklin College Funding
by Bill Wines 02 May '15

02 May '15

Has anyone out there had dealings with a gentleman named Robert Sachs who represents a college scholarship program called "Ben Franklin College Funding"? He's looking to use our facilities to promote his endeavor. Presumably it's a not-for-profit organization. I'm having a difficult time finding out anything about it, and the distinct lack of an online presence is sending up red flags for me. -- Bill Wines Circulation & Technical Services Manager Commerce Township Community Library 2869 North Pontiac Trail Commerce, MI 48390 248.669.8108 ext.102 -- The information contained in this electronic message is intended only for the use of the designated recipient(s).
