Brothers,
It is my great honor to congratulate the chapters receiving 2003 Alpha Phi Omega Youth Service Grants. A committee of APO National Board members, led by past Board Member mrn Tomusiak, evaluated the applications sent in by chapters. Many thanks to all chapters who applied for the grant and to the YSG Review Committee.

The Youth Service Grant program provides grants to chapters doing projects that benefit pre-college age youth. It is funded by a generous donation from Brother John Jadel. You can learn more about it at: www.apo.org/programs/service/youth_service_grants/index.shtml
If you received a grant this time or not, make sure to do (and report on!) a project benefiting youth as part of APO's Spring Service Day: April 11-13, 2003, or any weekend in April that works for your chapter. Find the details (also mailed to your chapter) at: www.apo.org/programs/service/national_spring_service_day/index.shtml
Keep up the wonderful service, APO!
Warmest Regards,
Carla Moran
