Reunited...and it feels so good! |
After two decades of
employing teens, we thought it would be a great time to host a giant AFH Reunion!
Thanks to a brilliant idea from our Education Director Lesley Horrall, all
those who worked at AFH, from 1990 to now, were invited to reunite at the
EpiCenter! Over 85 alumni representing all 20 years gathered at the Lewis
Gallery, some of who had not been back since their apprenticeship! All
enjoyed seeing themselves in a slide show projected on the North wall during
dinner and desserts, which were graciously catered by Cuisine Chez Vous, Bakers Best, and East Meets West. It was a wonderful evening of catching up and
sharing stories, and everyone agreed that more frequent reunions would be
welcome. But AFH’s doors aren’t just open for reunion galas...before the dinner
began, Lesley announced that all alums have the opportunity to access the AFH Education/Career Services.
So, a new tradition
has been initiated and we all look forward to more frequent happy reunions!
If you were there, we hope you will post your thoughts and pictures on
our Facebook.
