Athena Library Friends Association [ALFA]
Organization and Mission


Home



ALFA was designated a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in September 2003.

ALFA membership is open to all. Everyone is welcome at ALFA board meetings, the February annual meetings, community forums, and special events.

ALFA funding comes from membership dues, heritage calendar sales, special events and fundraisers, grants, donations, and memorial gifts.

Minutes of meetings as well as copies of correspondence, news clippings, and the ALFA CONNECTION newsletter are on file at the library. Space precludes keeping all those notes here at the website; the public is invited to check out the ALFA notebooks at library.

ALFA is associated with the Libraries of Eastern Oregon through the library's membership in that organization. ALFA has also joined Friends of The Library USA, the Nonprofit Associaton of Oregon, and the Oregon Historical Society.
