Hi all,
this week in the exciting world of APO:
wednesday: 6 pm, w20-400, chapter meeting. one of the more contentful
chapter meetings this term. on the agenda: iap planning, what people
learned from conclave, nominations for major offices (you can also send
nominations via email, or nominate on the spot during elections, but it's
better to give people a chance to think about it), the Counterpoint
article below, maybe other things too.
pftgoto: wednesday, after the meeting, in the student center even,
Making Millions: From Innovation to Enterprise is a discussion with
Mohammed bah Abba and Paul Polak of International Development Enterprises.
Come hear how these innovators have developed technologies, production,
and distribution systems that are helping millions of people in the
developing world. The talk and refreshing desserts will be in Twenty
Chimneys, 3rd floor of the Student Center.
saturday: Semi Formal Formal! 7 pm, in one of the 30-something buildings
(room TBA) RSVP to sff@mit.edu if you are coming so we have rough totals
for food purchase. yum!
pftgoto: saturday morning ESP (an MIT student group) is hosting splash, a
weekend extravanganze of low-cost enrichment classes for high school
students. in past years, apo has helped out with this project, though we
aren't officially this year. if you want to help out unofficially anyway
for an hour or several, email gsz@mit.edu. I hear ESP will give you
breakfast, a T shirt, and warm squishy feelings if you volunteer.
sunday: project at Camp Wildwood. leaving 10 am from the office. email
jessiehl@mit.edu if you are coming. This should be fun -- the weather is
supposed to be nice, and the location is *gorgeous* with lots of water and
trees and wildlife. We're doing general camp rejuvenation things.
YiLFS,
Kaia

The aforementioned counterpoint survey:
1. What does your organization do?
2. What is a common misperception (if any) of what your organization does?
3. Why should an MIT student join your organization NOW (i.e. explain why
your cause is so important now-- and take note that this answer will
appear in the December issue)?
4. What can a member hope to achieve through your organization?
5. Tell us about a few recent achievements of and/or events organized by
your organization.
6. When/where are your meetings/ how can students get involved?
7. What motivates your members to promote your cause?
