Mandate: "At AAFS, we focus on serving our members as best we can by finding gaps in their service and filling those gaps with socially enriching programming. When AAFS began in 2004, we had only seven families, and we now proudly serve over seven-hundred. We have gone from holding one activity per week, to having activities seven days a week and many days, we even have two or three different activities running simultaneously."
