10 Monthly Meetings
We had lots of fun and laughter in our meetings
Some speakers had us doing some strange things!
And of course we all love having our photos taken
Some speakers were immortalised in visual images
Some speakers used visual aids. Here is Eric Fengthrowing lots of balls into the audience!
Tim Bean showed us how 5 pounds of muscle compared to 5 pounds of fat!

wanted our photos taking
with him!

This year we have seen a lot of PASSION from APSS members.
We have seen a lot of PURPOSE, commitment and dedication shown
