New Years Eve 2013 while walking to the auditorium one could smell the prime rib J.P. Rhea was smoking. Inside guests were being serenaded by Frank Sinatra and Michael Buble during the cocktail hour. A.E.F. held it’s first New Years Eve Gala on Dec. 31, 2013 for the A.E.F. scholarship fund, $3050.00 was raised and a good time was had by all.
