Whoa, a new page, what's going on?!

We've decided to create Amusement Professionals Network as a main page, and maintain Apron Social as a side page.

Future original posts and shared posts about industry news will be shared here.

Plus, we think having the full name as the main page title helps people know what we're about. 'Apron Social' as a name only works if people already know what APRON stands for.

Thanks!
