The value of the week this week is kindness!! Try to spread kindness around campus not just this week, but every week. One sticky note I saw yesterday went something along the lines of "If you can't find a nice person, be one." I love that. It's a nice reminder to be positive and spread kindness. You never know what is going on in someone's life. Sometimes just a smile, holding the door open for someone, or helping them when they drop something can improve their entire day.

48 hour rule!!
If you sign up for a service project or fellowship, sign ups lock 48 hours before the event, and you cannot take you name off. You are committed to that event unless there is an emergency.
Waitlist!!
If you take your name off, it is your responsibility to contact the person moved off the waitlist because notification emails can get lost!!!
PNM attendances have been updated on APO Online. Please contact service if that is not the case!!
Fellowship
-Please only send 1 attendance!! Only send a second if you really cannot find the person taking it. You must also send a picture.
-Intramurals can count as fellowships if 5 or more bros are on a team
-Don't be afraid to post in the FB group about a fellowship if only a few people are signed up!
-Banquet committee: Sundays 4-5pm
Membership
Not too much new here, but legitmate proof was provided that Brianna did indeed meet the one and only Nick Jonas:
Email me (mkh1015) the answer to this question: What is my dog's name? for a p0int!! The first person to email me gets the p0int!! The answer can be found somewhere else in the newsletter ;) May the odds be ever in your favor.

Fundraising
Now, I am going to include the information in Sarah and Shayna's email from last night :)
-First, APO is tabling in Union Court this Thursday (Valentine’s Day) from 11:30-1:30, where we will be giving away free candy. We’ll also have a jar of candy hearts so people can guess how many there are to win a $5 Dunkin’ gift card. Pay-what-you-will donations will be accepted. 100% of proceeds go to our Relay for Life team.
-Second, we’re having our Chipotle fundraiser on February 23 from 4-8 pm at the Newington Chipotle. Sign up on APO Online for fellowship credit and get some burritos with your friends! 33% of proceeds go to our Relay for Life team. But in order for your meal to count, you’ll need to show the cashier the flyer or mention “Alpha Phi Omega”!
-Third, the link to purchase tickets to the instructed paint night at The Offbeat Owl in Exeter is now live! Click HERE to sign up and sign up on APO Online for fellowship credit. The event is on March 23 from 5-7 pm. Tickets are $35/person and 30% of the proceeds go to our Relay for Life team. There are only 49 spots available so first come, first serve!
