Letter to the Membership 2016

Dear NAFA Community, September 30, 2016 we closed out another wonderful year full of NAFA events.

For information or to RSVP contact Christie at nafaevents@gmail.com Baby &Toddler Care Class—We host this event 3 times per year. We have permanently relocated to Legacy Emanuel Hospital.
