Section 85 logo contest
Let's show some Section 85 pride by creating a new Section 85 logo! The logo will be used on all things Section 85 (twitter account, Facebook page, website, pinterest account, and newsletters).  The winner of the contest will receive an APO greek letter of their choosing.  Email your logos to me in a jpeg format by August 1st.  I will then create a way for you all to vote on which design should be the winner.  

New look to the Section 85 newsletter coming this summer! Its going to be fancy once I figure out how to use MailChimp.  Also over the summer the section staff will be updating the Section 85 list serve so be on a look out for an email to update your information.  

Other Grants
Friendship and Retention Grant is a grant given out by the National Fraternity to help fund an event to build stronger bonds of friendship within your chapter so that the chapter can retain more of its members.  More information can be found at http://www.apo.org/show/National_Programs/Membership_and_Extension/Friendship_and_Retention. 
Even though the Youth Service Grants have already been given out by the National Fraternity for the year there are other grants that your chapters can apply to receive.
