Events
AARF has many events during the year to reach out to the community and to raise funds. Among these are Bingo nights, yard sales and membership drives.
As part of our programs, we have an Education group that visits the local schools, most often with a dog as an example role model.
Bingo Night
Held once or twice a year, this is an extremely fun and entertaining evening of Bingo, drinks, food, and socialization. Held on a lovely beach setting at Roy's Bayside Grill, players have the chance to play in the neighborhood of fifteen games of Bingo, with a donated prize going to the winner. Prizes include art, food, transportation, lodging and more.
Players can play with as many cards as their acumen can handle, with many cards to choose from. A real Bingo set is used to mix and emit the numbers, and a sound system makes it easy to hear the caller.
This is a don't miss event!
Yard Sale
The yard sale offers an opportunity to purchase quality used goods, donated to AARF throughout the year. Such goods include books, music, electronics, clothing, furniture, household goods, among other things.
Here are the upcoming dates for the Yard Sale. Unless otherwise noted, all event go from 9 a.m. until noon at Roy's Bayside Grill in Sandy Ground. We had our first this last March 13th, and it was a roaring success. We wrote about it in the Q1 2010 Newsletter.

Map to Roy's Bayside Grill in Sandy Ground
Roy's in Sandy Ground
Take the road towards Sandy Ground. As you drive downhill, the salt pond will be to the right.
At the bottom of the hill, the road curves to the right and when it straightens out, there will be a “Y” in the paved road.
Take the left fork. It goes to the port and main jetty, as well as Roy's. The right fork heads towards the rows of Sandy Ground restaurants such as Ripples (a favorite restaurant and great AARF supporter), Pumphouse, Johnnos, etc.) and other businesses in Sandy Ground.
The main port and jetty are used by the larger ships delivering goods to Anguilla. On a workday, expect to pass many trucks parked on the road waiting to enter the port. Carefully drive past them; Roy's will be the last business on the right before going into the port facility, and has a small parking lot.
Do not enter the port area.
Membership Drives
We always welcome new members, who are vital to our success. We sometimes hold membership drives in public spots (such as at the Post Office) to sign up new members.
