Mid-week Announcements
Service
Dear Brothers and Pledges,
Please make sure when you signed up for Philly Marathon that you:
1) Signed up on the link
2) Signed up on the link
and finally - MAKE SURE YOU SIGNED UP ON THE LINK. I have a really strong feeling that a lot of you haven't , since I checked the site that shows the number of available spots left for Sunday morning. Very recently it read 0 - and yet still some of you are signing up on the forum.
Forum:  http://pennapo.forumotion.net/ 
Calendar: Click!
For the next couple of weeks, if any of you are free at all, please sign-up for these projects. We're in real need of volunteers for all of these projects.
Mandatories this week and next week: 
1) Tough Cookies
What: Help teach them business skills related to selling Girl Scout cookies through workshops and related activities. 
Where: JMHH G50
When: Sat. Nov. 14th, 1pm-4pm
Please sign-up ASAP, Rebecca and Julian would both really appreciate the manpower. It's easy, it'll be fun, and it's right here on campus.
2) University City District Beautification
Date: Saturday, Saturday, November 21
Time: 12:00-3:00pm
Location: TBD by the end of this week.
We can bring a maximum of 20 brothers. Please sign-up on the spreadsheet as well as the forum!

Click!
3) UC Green Bare Root Tree Planting
Date: Saturday, November 21st
Time: 9am-12pm
We plan on planting ALL of the trees in a single morning.  We will be covering an enormous six square mile area of West Philadelphia.
Max: 20 Brothers
General Projects:
1) Neighbors in Action
Time: 10 am to 2pm 
Place: 33rd and Cumberland

Things to remember: Last day to sign-up for Operation Santa Claus is THIS Sunday, November 15th. Please email Matt Catalano if you are interested (@matcat@sas.upenn.edu)
Also - for Non-apo projects, I mistakenly told some of you that Ronald McDonald House doesn't count, but the hours do. So if you do volunteer for them, please email me your total hours at the end of this month. 
Finally - if you have a license - please consider taking the van certification course online. It's never been easier and APO really needs drivers. I can't always ask Johan to sacrifice his study time to transport people when there are other people who are capable of helping out with this. You will get half service hours for taking the online course. Please refer to my Sunday Service announcements for information on van cert. If you can't find it, email me and I will give you the information.

Have a wonderful day everyone, keep warm and I'll see you soon!
Best,
Sam

Assassins with Alpha Lambda!

Posted Mon, 11.09.09

Hello APO brothers!

The Alpha Lambda pledge class would like to invite you to join in an APO-wide game of Assassins as part of our pledge class fundraiser!

I apologize if this is a repeat for those of you who were at the brotherhood meeting yesterday. For the people who weren't, here are some of the details:

The APO Assassins game will go on for four weeks, starting on this WEDNESDAY, November 11th. You will have one week to "kill" (not literally...duh haha) your target. Details about safety zones and how to kill will be sent out upon your signup.

We are asking for a $3 entry fee, more if you would like to make donations. These proceeds are going to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, which is a childhood cancer research foundation that was started by a 4-year-old girl named Alex Scott when she was afflicted with cancer. She started a lemonade stand to raise money to "help people," and kids around the nation saw what she was doing - and wanted to help. By the time Alex was 7, the foundation had raised over $1million for cancer research. Although Alex passed away within about a year after that, her legacy still lives on in the foundation, which is run by her parents. 

Please email me back (mailto:shenyangbaby@gmail.comshenyangbaby@gmail.com) by this TUESDAY at 11:30 PM if you're interested in playing. You can pay us the money later, but we are starting on Wednesday, so we need a list of the names of participants. Prizes will be gift certificates to local shops and/or restaurants. Thanks!!

New Comment Box!

Posted Tue, 10.06.09

Hey all,

I've added a third party comment box to the right side - I'll be testing this out over the next week.

The idea is to have an easy way for people other than the webmaster to add information to the site. Of course this depends on whether people actually use it, so please exercise this new addition!

Post anything from fellowship events, service projects, reminders, questions, comments/suggestions on site content, and even shout-outs.

Thanks!

If You Haven't Paid Dues...

Posted Sun, 10.04.09

Hi everyone,

If you've emailed me about dues and I haven't responded, I apologize! I've gotten a flood of emails and may not have responded individually to all of them.

To hopefully make things easier, here are 3 ways you can get them to me this week.

1. Slip them under my door at Harnwell 1808 (or knock and see if I'm there)
2. Exec meeting -- Wednesday, 9:30-10:30 in Rodin M20 -- coming at the beginning or end
3. Brotherhood meeting -- Sunday, 8PM, JMHH 240

If absolutely none of these methods work for you, please contact me. Again, $40 for active brothers, $20 for associates, and $0 for early alums.

Thanks!
Didi

Service Updates

Posted Mon, 11.09.09

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all had a great homecoming weekend!!

By the way - I neglected to say this at the meeting today, but when people sign-up or let the hosts know ahead of time that they are contributing donations, please be considerate and enforce the same kind of rule that we do for projects. If you decide you no longer want to donate something, tell them way in advance so that they can accomodate this change. Do NOT tell them the late night before, or the morning of. Please be considerate of the hosts, it's not fun getting emails the morning of and realizing you have to go and contribute your own money last minute.

New!!
Operation Santa Claus - a project brought to us by Matt Catalano, matcat@sas.upenn.edu.The students from the West Philadelphia schools each write a "Dear Santa" letter and then generous donors provide the gifts inresponse.  During our reading days, members of Newman and others go to the respective schools and surprise the students with their gifts and Santa Claus (a volunteer dressed as Santa). If you are willing to sponsor a student, you will be provided with the student's names and gift requests. You will be given Donation Hours for this project! (And you will make a kid really, really happy!)

As promised - here is the spreadsheet with hosting updated! If you are a pledge, I wrote the number of hostings you had since you need to also have fellowship hostings. Brothers, if you only had one - I wrote down one hosting for you, if you had more then I just wrote that you were "Done" with your hosting requirements for the semester. Please check my work of course! Also, not all the projects have been reported, but do let me know if your hours are missing from projects that ARE reported.

This is to encourage people to sign up for the smaller projects even if they see that no one else has. So please don't hesitate to participate in any project. And of course if there is something that you find you want to open to the brotherhood, email me ASAP.

Anyone who hosts a project will now use this template that I'm attaching to this email (I will try to upload it on the forum) to record hours. Just type in your project in the third column where it says "Insert Project". Then underneath - next to the names of the brothers, record the number of hours your project was for every brother who was there. 

For ex : Morris Park will be 3 hours. So for every brother who was there - I would record 3 in the column next to their names.

Cool? Let me know if you have any problems.

Have a good night,

Help this local neighborhood get the 3100 block of West Tasker street into shape. Work alongside residents and help erase urban blight.

(I emailed the coordinator about the time this project is taking place, he won't get back to the office until Tuesday. But I imagine it should be around the same time as Project 1)
