Welcome back for the 2010 Spring semester! The semester ahead of us is filled with important dates that will focus heavily on our three cardinal principles, so I encourage each and every one of you to GET INVOLVED! Get involved, stay involved, and just as important, involve others.
Our joint sectional conference with Section 86 will be held March 26-28 on the campus of University of Maryland. If you're not already on the aposection85@googlegroups.com email list, check the Chapter Resources section of this site and sign up! All of the pertinent information with regards to conference will be announced via this website and that email list.
Start fund raising NOW for National Convention 2010! Atlanta, GA is waiting for us to descend upon them, so let's make sure we have a good showing from 85!
Another important event within Alpha Phi Omega is Spring Youth Service Day. You can learn more about this year's program by viewing the handbook prepared by our national office. Don't forget to complete your online report after your project is complete!
Finally, I strongly encourage all Brothers and Pledges to attend the Spring Fellowship series that your FVPs are hard at work coordinating for you! Zeta Mu is hosting a Leadership Panel (see Kelly's letter to the right), Georgetown is hosting ice skating, and I hear there is an Ocean City outing in the works - way to go Section 85!
Of course, if you need assistance with anything, your Section 85 Staff is always here to help.

Zeta Mu is hosting an APO Leadership Panel on April 17th beginning at 2:00 PM. We have asked APO alum to come to our campus and speak about how they used the skills learned in APO to fill leadership positions in their professions or in their communities. Our chapter would like to extend the invitation to all of you to attend the leadership panel and learn about how you can use the skills that you learn from the fraternity in your respective professions after graduation. Some of the presenters are: Jerry Schroeder (past APO National President), Rashid Darden (Development Officer for Damien Ministries), Hal Hagemeir (Senior Executive in the Department of Defense), and key-note speaker Maura Harty (former United States Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs). Following the panel, we will host a happy hour in the city for attendees of drinking age. Make sure to bring your ID if you plan to attend the happy hour!
There is no cost to attend the panel, and even though specials will be available, you are responsible for your own tab at happy hour. Please register using the link below.
