It's National Service Week! Help table and raise money for the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention. We'll be making bracelets and creating hands of support for donations and having a fundraiser at the same time. - - - - - - - - - - From the nationals website (https://apo.org/service-mission/national-service-week/): APO has designated the first week of November as National Service Week (NSW), in order to unify chapters with a national theme, inspire expansion of their service programs and increase the impact they have on the communities they serve. National Service Week is an annual event that stretches back to 1979, when Dr. Stan Carpenter, Xi Omicron ’68, thought there needed to be a time when all brothers united to provide service as members of the National Service Fraternity. At a July 1979 Board of Directors meeting, Brother Carpenter moved that National Service Day be conducted and promoted as “Service Day 1979 – A Celebration of Service,” and his motion was successful. Then National Service Chairman, Brother Carpenter would later become National President. National Service Day was expanded to a full week in 1996, and since then, APO brothers have performed service for a week each year reflecting a specific theme determined biennially at the National Convention. The National Service Week program is November 4-10, 2018 with an emphasis for “Suicide Prevention in the Community.” With the safety of all members of our campus, community, and nation in mind, we ask help to further this cause. Every member has a part to play. From starting a National Service Week project on campus, to spreading awareness of this endeavor, to simply talking and listening to another student, we all have the power to make a difference.
