Alabama State Report The picturesque campus of Auburn University is the site for AASFAA’s Fall conference. The conference will be held October 15-17. The conference will be filled with sessions that will benefit everyone. Sessions will vary from the New Aid Officers Workshop, loans, and planning for a successful financial aid future. AASFAA’s Fall conference humanitarian project will be filled with sessions that will provide assistance to Children’s Harbor, a nonprofit organization that works with Children’s Hospital of Birmingham. Children’s Harbor provides family counseling and support services for critically ill children and their parents. Association members have been asked to bring gift cards from stores such as WalMart, KMart, or ToysRUs to enable the staff to purchase books, toys and games.
