This was sent out with the instructions to share it with our
chapters. I figure that it's appropriate to share it here too.

Organization: Alpha Phi Omega
Brothers,
As you know we were given very little advance notice of this
recognition. We have sent press releases to all campus newspapers and
University Presidents for active chapters, the top 50 metropolitan
newspapers, and the major news networks. We need your help in getting
the word out to our members. I have pasted the text from a flyer below
and attached a Microsoft Word version. Please pass this along to your
list serves, chapters, committees, advisors, etc.
At a minimum we would like all members to wear their Service Pin on
Monday.
Daily Points of Light
Award Recipient
April 14, 2003
Alpha Phi Omega, National Service Fraternity, is being honored with
the Daily Points of Light Award. We are the nation's Point of Light on
Monday, April 14th! This award is given by the Points of Light
Foundation which is a national, nonpartisan organization that promotes
volunteerism. The Foundation was founded by former President George
Bush and its name reflects one of his favorite phrases, "a thousand
points of light." He described Points in this way during a speech to
college students:
"Simply put, Points of Light are caring citizens who volunteer their
time and effort to help make the world a better place than they found
it -- whether through public service, or working through their church
or synagogue, or a local club or organization." -- George H.W. Bush
May 13, 2000
All Alpha Phi Omega students, alumni and advisors should be proud of
this honor. We did not receive it due to one chapter's service
program or one year's worth of service. We are receiving this honor
due to the standard of leadership, friendship and service to mankind
that we've set for more than seventy-seven years.
Please help us spread the word about this honor by wearing your
service pin on Monday, April 14th. Ask your advisors and alumni to do
the same, there's no time to send US mail so we're relying on you to
let folks know about this!
Each time someone asks you about your pin it's a chance to tell
them about the Fraternity, the valuable service we perform, the things
you've learned and the friends you've made through Alpha Phi Omega.
The more we spread the word about Alpha Phi Omega,
the more people there will be who know about us. The more people who
know about us, the more members and projects we'll
have -- allowing us to do more service.
