What to do now ? •  As a group,

ü  decide if APO will accept to be the event marshals and /or to set-up a venue.

ü  If so, appoint a project coordinator.

•  As individuals, ü  decide and choose what to attend

(conference, dinner or both ?) ü  and if you will volunteer as an APO marshal

at the same time.

After all is said and done, it boils down to something simple…
