Adopt-A-Park and Tree Planting --

APO
Toronto
Celebrates Earth Day
On the weekend of April 21st, Alpha Phi
Omega Alumni Association of Toronto (APOToronto) members and families
rendered another meaningful and fulfilling service projects to celebrate 2007
Earth Day. These
are the clean-up drive for our annual
Adopt-a-Park (April
21st) and the
Tree Planting
(April 22nd).
These two projects have been part of our annual service
activities for the past several years.
In adopting
Munden
Park
located at
North Service
Road
from
Cawthra Rd.
to
Hurontario Rd.,
we had been noted this year by the city of
Mississauga for
helping to reduce litter under the city's
Litter-Not program. As
a service-oriented organization, we committed to do three clean-ups per
year under the leadership of Bro. Jerry Villanueva.
Our tree planting program, led by Bro. Panny Labao, is
now on its 15th year and has always been a success. On April 22nd,
we were able to plant more than 200 trees to contribute to a greener
environment. Our effort was recognized by the presence of Ontario Premier
Dalton McGuinty.
APO-Toronto's commitment to service remains steadfast
as we all strive to make a difference!

Kristian Cyril N. Gonzales Leukemia Fund (KCNGLF)
With the
call of Bro. Nestor Gonzales for help and endorsement by ACNA President Mel
S. Gonzales, APO-Toronto started a fund drive to support the KCGNLF
Project. We have collected a total of Cdn$255 from our members. Aside from
these collections, we are also selling raffle tickets to augment our
contribution to the fund. Bro. Sonny Rombaua -

In addition
to the above funds, APO-Toronto bid out six bottles of
APO
75th anniversary commemorative wine during the dinner and dance
party of APO-Midwest on

which generated almost Cdn$600 for KCNGLF.
