What is A.S.K?
A.S.K. is a family friendly community for furries in Kansas. We welcome everyone, whether they are new to the fandom, been in the fandom for a long time, curious about the fandom, or just friendly to furries. We host several events and meets throughout the year. Feel free to check out our Events link above to learn more.
What does A.S.K. do?
We do a lot of things. We strive to bring the local furry community together, educate the general public about furries, and raise money for charities in the process. In the last year or two, our members have raised over $500 for K9-Karma Animal Advocates, a “death row” dog rescue located in Wichita, KS.
