AFI Field Trip, March 22

Alliance for Independence (AFI) has worked with adults with mental disabilities in Lakeland for over 50 years. In conjunction with reading Tom Griffin's The Boys Next Door, we will be visiting their facility to take a tour, learn about their work, and do some community service.

We will visit on Tuesday, March 22, from 9:15-11:15 AM. Since this is during chapel time, I've arranged for you to get chapel credit for your attendance.

You will have to arrange your own transportation. Carpooling is encouraged. AFI is 1.5 miles from Southeastern. (See map.) Please make sure to arrive on time.

The community service we will do will involve taking turns reading a story with the adults who AFI serves. When we do this, the plan is to break into three groups, each comprised of two of the small groups that we have in class. So when we break into these reading groups, stay with your small group from class.
