Dear Subscriber
Spring is finally here and with it comes great weather and the chance to get outside and provide service in your communities. Chapters across the nation will get out April 15-17 for Spring Youth Service Week, a weekend-long event in partnership with Youth Service America's Global Youth Service Day.
Thanks to the generous donations of our alumni, there will be 26 chapters performing Spring Youth Service Day projects with the help of funding from the Youth Service Grant. Check out the article below to see a list of the chapters that were awarded this grant.
A few maintenance items are also included in this e-newsletter, so be sure to read closely! Alumni Association renewals and Pledge Class Namesake nominations are coming up quick and we want you to be prepared to meet these important deadlines.
Happy Spring!

| Submit Your Nomination for Fall Pledge Class Namesake Honoree by May 1 |
|
Do you know a brother, organization or influential nonmember who reflects the Fraternity's Cardinal Principles of Leadership, Friendship and Service? If so, consider nominating them for the 2011 Fall Pledge Class Namesake Honoree.
The criteria used in considering nominations are:
- For nominees whose accomplishments are within the Fraternity (including chapter advisors), we are looking for those who have had a significant and positive impact at the
regional level, at minimum, over a sustained period of time.
- For those nominated for work outside of Alpha Phi Omega, we are looking for persons who have had a comparable impact at the national level, over a sustained period of time.
While deceased individuals and groups of people or organizations may be nominated, preference is given to living and individual nominees.
