The Franklin Savings Bank board of directors recently presented retiring president and CEO Peter Judkins, left, with a gift of $10,000 from the Franklin Savings Bank Community Development Foundation, to be presented to the charity of his choice. Judkins announced he would direct the gift to the Franklin Ski and Outing Club for new lighting on the alpine race trail at Titcomb Mountain Ski Slope and a new ski tuning machine for the Mt. Blue Ski Team. Judkins said that the funds will be used to update Titcomb’s antiquated lighting system with energy efficient low-E lights, which will benefit all skiers, not just the racers. Judkins has long been active at Titcomb Mountain, volunteering many hours to upkeep and snowmaking tasks. Standing with Judkins at Titcomb Mountain Ski Slope is Mount Blue High School Ski Team coach Mark Cyr.
