To Brothers of Alpha Phi Omega in the Washington, DC Area:

Zeta Phi Chapter at Howard University recently lost one of their Spring 2004 initiates, Brother Aaron Christian Bonner. Aaron was active not only in Alpha Phi Omega, but Campus Pals and student government. This week, Aaron ultimately succumbed to Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (a form of cancer) after being first diagnosed in 2003.

The Zeta Phi Chapter humbly requests that you stand in solidarity with them at the Memorial Ceremony for Brother Aaron Christian Bonner, to take place Saturday, July 5, 2008, at promptly 10:10am on the Yard (Upper Quadrangle) at Howard University, at the Alpha Phi Omega Plot. Appropriate attire will be any Alpha Phi Omega paraphernalia (t-shirts, jackets, tikis, etc), blue and gold clothing, or simply your service or life member pin. As the ceremony will begin at 10:10am, please plan to assemble at 9:30am.


It is unfortunate that they must perform this ceremony, but let us not allow them to perform it alone. I would like to see representation from all chapters who have members residing in DC this summer.

From Georgetown, meet at the front gates at 8:45am. Take the G2 bus which departs at 8:52am all the way to the end of the line. When you get off the bus (at around 9:25am), walk up Fourth Street until you see the campus gates on your left. The APO plot is near Douglass Hall, on the west side of the yard (Upper Quadrangle).

For all those arriving via Metrorail, take the Green Line to Shaw-Howard U. Exit the Shaw-Howard U. Metro station from the 7th Street/Georgia Avenue entrance, turn right/north and proceed approximately six blocks until you have reached the main campus of Howard University.

All Brothers who are physically able should be present. This is one of our most solemn obligations.
