"Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it."

Hey guys! Happy Thursday!! The weekend is sooooooo close..
What are you up to this weekend? I have mountains of homework... blehh! But look what Section 99 is doing! Ramapo College in Mahwah, NJ is hosting the Fall 2008 Conference and I must say... I am very impressed with their scheduled line up and creativity! Take a look:

Kudos to them, huh?! Looks like an awesome time.
Just thought I'd share. Maybe it'll spark some inspiration or motivate us to come up with something just as awesome for Section 96!

More National Convention Tidbits
HeyHey!
So everything that you possibly need to know about Nationals can all be found on the APO.org website. I've added the direct URL to the Links section (In the sidebar for easy access. Check it out!)
In the meantime, take a peak at the preliminary list of WORKSHOPS (I'm pretty stoked about the "APO in your resume" one. APO offers GREAT resume fodder... but sometimes it's hard to express on that fancy paper!)
WORKSHOPS
Contra and Swing lessons - Two wonderful dance styles to learn while having fun! Come out and learn a new dance or two, and have fun with your fellow Brothers.
Financing your chapter and its events - This workshop will highlight innovative ways to gain money for your chapter and fund your events.
Applying for Applause and Dough -Chapters always need money to run events but coming by that money isn't always as easy. Sometimes chapters earn a pat on the back. This workshop will explain how to apply to Nationals for money and awards.
Habits of very successful chapters - There are chapters that have been around for almost seventy years and still going strong! Come learn successful habits of chapters so your chapter can be around seventy years from now.
APO in your resume - Many Brothers do a lot of work in APO and want show off their great work and talent. This workshop will highlight some key ways how to include your efforts with APO in your resume.
Massages - Life as a Brother can sometimes be stressful and difficult...so why not learn some massage techniques! This workshop will demonstrate some simple safe methods of massage so you can relax and de-stress.
Toast Song in ASL - The toast song is an important staple in the APO history. It tells a lot about us and what we do. This workshop will teach you the toast song in American Sign Language--a nice new way to close your chapter meeting.
Boston Phonetics - "Go pahk yah cah in da Harvad yahd." Sound familiar? When people think of a Boston Accent, this is the first sentence most people come up with. Come have fun and learn some of the familiar slogans and phrases from a real Bostonian.

Leadership Quote of the Day
Monday's usually stink. And I'm sure for a lot of us out there, today was no different. So I found an especially sweet quote for today... just to brighten things up a little and remind us all that even the smallest acts can make big differences.
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of ones critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
