Hey website go-ers!
Hello from the new Webmaster for APASU year '10-'11!
So if you've been wondering, the website has not been in service very much or at all during the summer. That's because we've all been trying to enjoy our summers, or at least make the most of it. But now that school is around the corner, I will be devoting more time into the website, starting possibly during the first few weeks of September.
A few things that I plan on doing throughout the year are bi-weekly updates (on currently undetermined days) and giving the website greater emphasis. I believe that in the past year, the website was not very well emphasized and I thought it would be great for this upcoming year if it was a way to keep in touch. Personally, I did not even know we had a website until I became the Webmaster. That is why for this upcoming year, I will try to make it a bigger part of APASU so that members who cannot attend our general meetings can at least know what is it was about. Another thing that I plan to work on is our twitter account, and get more uploads to youtube so we can share the APASU experience with everyone. I hope to make the website informative and interesting to read.
Feel free to leave comments on any of the previous and future posts. Feedback will also be appreciated.

FREE Stuff in the Office
Last Friday we cleaned out the office, and there are a couple of items up for grabs. The items are in the office in a box marked "free," they include:
- Old school TV (still works)
- Binders
- Dividers
- Folders
- Fall Reception posters (they make great room decorations)
- Yoyos
So, pick some of the box stuff up, otherwise they'll be thrown away.
