In the past, we have:

1. Hosted a screening of "Soul Food Junkies" by Byron Hurt (above on right). This presentation also included samples of healthy Soul Food dishes created by local restauranteurs. 
2. Produced  three offerings of "Prepare For Care", a four week series of workshops to guide families embarking on the journey and challenges of caregiving. The workshops were facilitated by professionals in the Insurance, Social Service, and Behavioral Science industries.
3. Stay Tuned for future events!

MAAHF AMBASSADORS, are at a minimum, individuals that demonstrate a  noteworthy positive accomplishment in our Community, 

and preferably with some relationship in the greater Montclair area.                                              

MAAHF GRAND MARSHALS:

1. We seek the opportunity to recognize two community members who have been making a difference but have gone under the radar. 
2. The persons should be elders of the greater community (but does not have to be) particularly if they have accomplished something special that should be recognized now. 

**** The above was an exceptional opportunity to celebrate a Special group of gentlemen known as the "90's PLUS CLUB".
