Dennison_logo_w-smokestackJoin us and many other former Dennison employees, their families, and family members of those who are no longer with us for a special reunion. Visit with friends and take in an exhibition that will bring you back in time. Over a year ago, Avery Dennison shipped back a tractor trailer full of archives to Framingham and the Framingham History Center staff and volunteers have been sorting through them ever since.  This exhibition is a celebration of the return of this archive and the Dennison legacy.

The Reunion will take place at the Village Hall on the Framingham Centre Common    (2 Oak St.) from 6:00-9:00 p.m. There will be hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. The exhibition will also be open across the street at the Framingham History Center (3 Oak St.)
