Mr. Lewis was one of the original alumni to establish and continue a scholarship fund for the students of Franklin High School.

Mr. Lewis will be missed by many for his generosity and his care of the Reisterstown Community.

Participation

Each October The Alumni Association has mailed our newsletter to over 8500 alumni. This newsletter is to inform you of what the association does on your behalf. In addition it serves as an invoice to alumni for their annual dues. These dues and the contributions allow us to continue our scholarship programs for the students of Franklin High School. Ifyou have not paid your annual dues we are asking you please complete the form here (click here) and mail it to us at the address shown. We have maintained our dues at the same amount ($8.00) for a lot of years by receiving enough to handle administration costs and by alumni volunteers. Hopefully with the number of alumni increasing each year we can continue this standard although costs do increase. The number of alumni sending in their dues has remained about the same over the past several years. Lets see if we can increase that number greatly for 2009.
