Alums and honored guests gathered at the Eastmoreland Golf Club for the first Members Only Alumni luncheon on Saturday, May 1, 2010. Despite the chilly spring day outside, alums enjoyed the warmth of visiting with old friends and a delicious lunch prepared by the staff at Eastmoreland. Eighty alums were in attendance, including several who graduated in the 1930s. The luncheon also raised $1,200.00 for Franklin High School. Special thanks to guest speaker and alum Ken Thrasher ('67), who donated $250.00 to the FHSAA for Franklin High School during the event and to the Class of 1964 who donated $500.00. The gathering was so successful that the date has been set for next year's luncheon. If you missed this year, be sure and join the Franklin High School Alumni Association and plan to attend the Second Members Only luncheon on Saturday, May 21, 2011.

Special thanks to our photographer, April Whitley Avery ('67).
