AFAN is a non-profit social organization based in Athens, Ohio. Founded in 1969, it assists women from Athens and the surrounding communities make friends and become better acquainted with the area. With over 200 members, membership in AFAN is open to anyone, no matter how long they have been in the area.
Dues are $15.00 per year.
.
AFAN opens the year with an evening reception in September.
Monthly luncheons or dinners are held on the second Thursday of each month through May. In addition, there are Special Event trips to interesting places in Ohio on the fourth Thursday of each month.
The heart of AFAN is our Interest Groups where small groups of members meet to share a common interest. Some of our current interest groups are: Antiques & Collectibles, Book Review, Bridge, Gourmet, Hiking, Knit-wits, Needlework, Tongue and Thimble, Origami, Pho-tos and Quilting.
During the year new and prospective members are invited to attend our Newcomers' Coffees. This gives us an opportunity to get to know our new members and introduce them to other members.
Are you new to the Athens area?
Have you been here a while?
Are you looking for something to do?
Then AFAN is for YOU!
