APO is doing some restructuring, so this group of people will never come together in one place again once the new year starts. Therefore, the theme for the 2017 Region VI Conference is "Forget-Me-Not, Region VI." ◠Early registration will end on November 3rd at 11:59pm. After this time, the cost of attendance will increase, and t-shirts will no longer be available for order.

I am contacting you because you are the president of Alpha Phi Omega, a great organization here on campus with outstanding people! This past summer, I became involved in an amazing program called Camp PALS. This camp pairs you up one-on-one with an individual with Down syndrome. It is a week-long adventure in cities across the country such as Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and more! Throughout the week, you and your camper will take trips to places in the city. For Chicago, these may include places such as the Shedd Aquarium, the beach, and the bean! I am an ambassador for Camp PALS and I am fundraising money and recruiting male counselors for this upcoming summer of 2018. If you know anyone that you think would make a perfect fit, please let me know! If you would like more information or have any questions, please email me! I am happy to send brochure or talk to anyone who is interested.

WASH is the collective term for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene. WASH aims to provide education, awareness, and funding to supply clean drinking water and sanitation education to schools and children in underdeveloped regions. Since 1990, UNICEF and partners have played a key role as 2.6 billion people gained access to safe drinking water. Still, nearly 1,000 children die everyday due to a lack of safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene. Our signature project efforts will target Haiti’s emergency needs to reach 200,000 people in cholera-affected areas with a complete WASH response package; supporting emergency water access interventions for 70,000 people in drought-affected areas; and providing 60,000 internally displaced people with alternative sustainable sanitation strategies.
