President
------
Section 96 conference was awesome! They did a sweet roll call.
SVP
------
- Spark happened, although I'm not sure if many APO people showed up to it.
There should probably have been another email sent out closer to the date in
addition to the one sent by Alex much earlier, but between the two of us we
kind of failed...
- If you are around during spring break / this weekend in particular, there
is a trip with Aspire to the Sabre warehouse. It involves packing
(text)books to be shipped to Iraq for educational purposes, isn't
particularly long (9.15am - 2.15pm or so) and the people who have been on it
before have said it was fun, so come if you can!
- There is some sort of service project almost every weekend, but there has
been a comment that there aren't many smaller ones. Do people want these? Do
people have time for these? How many do people want? What is a good day /
time for them? What sort of things do people want to do? If this is too
tedious to do during chapter meeting, I can send out an email survey thingy
soon.
- Right now there are 3 service-free weekends: Apr 3, May 1 and May 8. There
are three ideas that I currently have:
a. Another CRC project with John, probably involving some variant of the
usual pruning / growing activity.
b. Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts, helping first-time campers with a
bunch of different activities (either May 1 or May 8, it's up to us). JTu
said she could probably get a car if she goes and there is a member of staff
who is willing to pick up to four of us up, so we could probably take
everyone people who wanted to go. It'll be fairly all day (leaving ~8am and
getting back ~7pm) and we have to commit about 2/3 weeks in advance, plus
you'll probably have to be female...
c. Make-a-Child-Smile (Apr 3), where we write cards / letters / send small
gifts to kids who are really ill that Section 96 'adopts' for this purpose.
A smaller activity that can be done in the office or something.
Are there other things that people want to do more?
- Big Screw. I send out a yelpy email to the svp list and liz! and I think
slehmann sent one out a few days ago, but I have no idea what's going on
with that. Do we have PCs? Do we have anything scheduled / anyone in charge
/ apprenticing or something? Help!
BVP
--------
APOSmores was fun! Thanks to Liz!'s friend Bacchus, who made the fire work!!
We lit a fire in one of EC's grills and made smores; it was awesome. kkuhn,
wings, sasen, epower, nteague, andrewd, oremanj, and people I forgot about
(sorry!!! D:) were there.
We had a Back to Kindergarten Study Break on Thursday. It was awesome! We
played with play-dough and ate dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets and watched
Veggietales. Our crayon-art is still visible on the table. ederegt, thzhou,
catherio, scottl, kkuhn, haiiro, and people I forgot about (sorry!! D:) were
there.
There was Pi Day! Unfortunately it had a low turnout. :( I guess Sunday
afternoons are not-so-good for fellowship attendance.
Coming up: Conclave on 3/26-3/28! I'm pretty sure you can still go; talk to
ederegt.
Also, I hear this Saturday night (3/20) there will be an APO dance party???
watch out for more details...
**REQUESTS**
- Steak Fry is crying out from the darkness, "Who will PC me??" Will you
answer the call? It is coming up in a little over a month! (4/24)
Responsbilities include buying large amounts of steak and other food at v.
low prices, sending out invitations, arranging an auctioneer, and then
cooking the food. Co-PCs or sub-PCs are encouraged.
- Currently no one is signed up to cook for the next chapter meeting on
March 31. I can hear the grumbly stomachs from here... please appease the
hungry college students by signing up to cook!
- Do you enjoy enjoyment?? Do you think fun is fun?? You should consider
being a part of... Fellcomm! Responsibilities include de-insanifying my
wild, sleep-dep-induced event ideas. Or coming up with such ideas yourself!
**ADVERTISEMENTS**
- Games afternoons are still happening!! Every Wednesday at 3:10pm in the
office. You may think you're busy.... and you probably are, but whatever
it's not as important as playing Blokus with me and Liz! !!
- APOTool is also still going on, Mondays and Thursdays 7-10pm. I'll try to
get better about providing food for them.. my b....
