APODCAA at Your Service: Marine Corps Marathon 2003
(Vic DeLeon, Epsilon Psi 82A)
Once again, members of the Alpha Phi Omega (Philippines) Alumni
Association of Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland (APODCAA) demonstrated
their dedication and commitment to the call of Service.
On the early morning of October 26, 2003, over twenty members of APODCAA
and their families proudly volunteered their time, energy, and enthusiasm
providing much needed fluid replenishments and cheered over twenty-three
thousand runners. And speaking of runners, APODCAA is proud to have our
very own Brother Bennie Domingo, Alpha Chapter, Far Eastern University,
participate - yet again - in this year's event.
Meanwhile, we were also joined by APO-USA Brother Kyle Peterson of Alpha
Delta Pi chapter, Western Alabama University, and Brother Nick Rosen
of Alpha Delta Delta, George Mason University. APODCAA hopes to expand its
Service activities with our APO-USA counterparts and will continue to
explore ways to learn and appreciate each others' unique perspectives and
cultures. One thing I'm absolutely confident about is that our dedication
and commitment to Serving our fellowmen serve as a bond that bridges our
cultural differences.
