AFAA MISSION STATEMENT
The Austin Filipino-American Association is a public, non-profit organization providing community assistance and recreation, promotion of the Filipino culture, and representation for the Filipino community in Austin, Texas and vicinity.
GETTING INVOLVED WITH AFAA
Culture is like the sum of special knowledge that accumulates in any large united family and is the common property of all its members. When we of the great Culture Family meet, we exchange reminiscences about Grandfather Homer, and that awful old Dr. Johnson, and Aunt Sappho, and poor Johnny Keats. Aldous Huxley [source: Flesch]
As Aldous Huxley so succinctly stated above, culture is the common denominator that binds the Filipino-American community in Austin. It is our culture that makes us Filipinos. The Austin Filipino-American Association (AFAA) is the catalyst that brings Filipinos together to celebrate our culture and unite as a family.
The AFAA looks forward to serving the Filipino community through charitable work, support services, and love for our culture.
