Austin Foundation for Eating Disorders
UPDATE from: August 2010 Meeting
1. We are beginning to develop the second Art Auction, the date is February 26, 2011. Individual meetings for the Art Auction will begin this fall. We are looking for a volunteer who would like to organize and put together the auction with the help of AFED, of course.
2. We are moving forward and are going to develop OPEN Eating Disorder Anonymous meetings in Austin (and the Austin area). Proposed meeting time is 12:30pm at the Hill Country Recovery Center off 24th street.
We need:
- input on a good meeting time and location
- a meeting place (we are looking for something central)
- volunteers helping to organize and kick-off these meetings and make our dream a reality
- volunteers willing to help with fliers and spreading the word
3. The first annual Austin NEDA Walk will be held November 6, 2010. Their first organizational meeting is September 4 at 11am at Mozart's Coffee Roasters. Contact: austinnedawalk@gmail.com for more information.
We are also looking for people who would like to be AFED Volunteers, Volunteer Speakers, or those interested in helping up set up community speaking/outreach events.
ANYONE is WELCOME at any of the meetings. The general meetings are mostly about how and what the organization is doing and it gives a complate overview of what has changed within the month. The volunteer meetings organize and brainstorm events, fundraisers, and outreach and awareness events. Volunteer meetings may occur more often than the general meetings if there is a need.
NEXT MEETING (General/Volunteer Combined) is Saturday, September 11 at 1pm.
Location: The address is 2201 N. Lamar #100
It's north of MLK and south of 24th right next to the Caswell lofts. There is parking along the side and (believe it or not) the roof of the building.Feel free to contact Stephanie if you have any questions, comments, or concerns; StephLCMorris@aol.com
