Just got back from a meeting with AFF Headquarters (Vince & Steve Schiavone(sons of founder Rita) and Lynn Trombetta) along with area churches.  Most importantly, AFF wants to get the message out to all the volunteers - "Thank you, thank you!  You ARE Aid For Friends - each of you make Aid For Friends the wonderful organization that it has become over the last 45 years!"  More info from the meeting to follow.. stay tuned!
