Franklin County Local Projects
Each year we provide a Unit Scholarship to a Franklin County High School Graduate
We are currently planning projects for the upcoming year. We are always open to new ideas and new ways to support education in our community. We invite you, as a retired educator in the Franklin County area, to join us as we continue to support local education even as we have moved beyond the classrooms.
If you would like to join us, please click the link below to contact this group. We would love to have you with us.
FCRSP held our spring meeting on March 11 at the Franklin County Schools Central Office.
Our guest speaker was Linda Gunter, current and newly re-elected President of NCRSP statewide. She spoke about working with NC Congressment and representatives on behalf of retirees. She stressed the importance, and effectiveness, of having local members send emails, make phone calls or otherwise reach out to their congressmen and representatives to speak up for a COLA for retirees (especially if you get an email from NCRSP specifically asking for such outreach) She also discussed the (then upcoming) state convention as well as various means to encourage and increase our membership.
In celebration of Read Across America, our local FCRSP bought two books for each elementary school library. The titles were The Magical Yet and Misty the Cloud- A Very Stormy Day. Sondra Ayscue, Director of Technology for Franklin County Schools, presented the books to each school's media specialist at the 2024 Elementary Battle of the Books.
The state NCRSP convention was held on March 20-21 in Cary. Beth Denton and Cathy Palmer represented our local unit at the convention. This was the first time attending for both of them, and proved to be a fun, informative and rewarding experience. (especially if you won a door prize). Not only did they get to meet and exchange ideas with retirees from across the state, they had the opportunity to participate in amending our organizations' constitution as well as voting on our new state officers for the next 2 years.
