Community Service Team

The Community service team is up and running.  December's activity was to feed a dinner to people in Middleburg who needed a hot meal.  About a dozen CRTA members helped out cooking and serving.  About 30 people were served.  Thank you for working over your Christmas vacation.

A big thank you to Kate Elder and Nancy Gunther.

Anyone have any pictures to share?

See a Bully, Stop a Bully, Make a Difference

Bullying is a serious problem that affects kids and teens throughout the nation. It can happen anywhere: face-to-face, on the web or over the phone. As serious as this problem is, the good news is that we can join together to stop it.

Bullying awareness is an issue that AFT and our members feel strongly about. To show our commitment to anti-bullying, we are providing list of resources, including this Power Point presentation, that offers tools and information regarding bullying. The JCAFT office also has materials to help you spread the word that bullying is not ok.

If you have questions or would like to schedule a workshop on bullying through AFT, please contact our offices:
