2017 marked the 25th anniversary of AFTS, and they celebrated the occasion by hosting a fund-raising gala. On May 4th, AFTS had a wonderful evening of food and drink which included an auction and silent auction raising several thousand dollars for AFTS. I was fortunate enough to share in the evening and was honored, along with some very worthy individuals, with a shadowbox frame containing a heart made by hand from the drop cloths found in the art classes.
