Are you new to the Athens area? Been here a while? Looking for something to do?
Then AFAN is for YOU!
Welcome to
Athens Friends and Newcomers
There once was a newcomer in town,
Having no friends made her frown.
So she joined the group AFAN
And off to activities she ran.
Now she has friends all around!

"I look upon every day to be lost in which I do not make a new acquaintance."
-Dr. Samuel Johnson

"Coming together is a beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success."

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 on the fourth Thursday of each month. In the fall, new and prospective members are invited to a Newcomers' Coffee to welcome and get acquainted with new members.
The heart of AFAN is our Interest Groups where small groups of members meet to share a common interest.
