Did you know that there is an association of FACS teachers? Yes!
It is call the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences.
This association is filled with professionals in business, extension and educators at the secondary, college and university levels.
These professionals meet on a regular basis through conference calls and annually at a national conference. The location is revolving and is in Houston in June of this year.
The association develops information for public use in the areas of personal finance, family, child development, nutrition, food preparation, textiles, fashion and public issues of the time. The association also has a team called "Taking it to the Streets" that works on current topics in the public eye.
This year there will be a preconference on Obesity prevention.
Below is a link to the associations web site. Some of the reference materials are for public use and can be helpful tools for everyday life.

AAFCS has had several names over the years but the association was started 104 years ago and has been going strong since. We recommend you check out and support the work that we do.
With love from your FACS teacher,
Jane
