For 2015, AAFCS is continuing with the theme, “Dining In” for Healthy Families, and the goal of the campaign is to double 2014 results and receive 200,000 commitments to“Dining In.”
December 3rd was chosen as Family & Consumer Sciences Day to honor family and consumer sciences pioneer and AAFCS founder Ellen Swallow Richards (December 3rd is her birthday).
To reach the goal of 200,000 commitments, everyone needs to participate—even if it’s just a small simple action. On behalf of the AAFCS Board of Directors, we are asking you to commit to “Dining In” on December 3rd.
Each year AAFCS fills CASA stockings as a service project. Make sure to get involved and volunteer to fill a stocking for a foster child! Sign up on Ms. Lindsey’s door (McAlister 112) by writing your name next to the age/gender of the child that you would like to provide for.
There are children of all ages in need of a little Christmas cheer, and you could help provide that! Remember the items must fit in a stocking and keep it under $10.
Please bring your items no later than November 20th to Ms. Lindsey (MAC 112) or Dr. Ryburn (MAC 100) in a bag/sack labeled with your name and the age/gender of the child you bought for.
Please see below for a list of open positions with Extension.
