Townshend attracts new prospects
Lure of sugary treats gets new members to table
We invited prospective members to come learn about what our
chapter does and how they would benefit from membership. The informal
setting allowed us to answer any questions and address concerns about
joining.
Our recruitment committee did a wonderful job
of letting potential members know about the informational meetings and we
enticed them with sugar -- ice cream and pop. As a result, there are 29 new applicants to the Townshend Chapter!

Christmas tree fundraiser
North Carolina sells trees to help with chapter costs
The
Christmas Tree Sale is the biggest fundraiser of the year. We pre-sell
trees to the community through e-mail, flyers and personal sales to
faculty and staff.
Through the Christmas tree sale we spread the word of the importance of agriculture in North Carolina.
The
trees and wreaths were obtained from an alumnus' tree farm. Brothers
pick up the orders, and we distributed the trees and wreaths from
campus the next day.
This year the fundraiser was more
successful than it has been in the past few years, and we raised about
$1,450 dollars to help pay for NALC and Agriculture Awareness Week.

Cook helps maintain garden
Chapter performs service to campus
 Rutgers
Gardens benefited from an Alpha Zeta service project this fall.
Almost 40 members and candidates pitched in to clean up, spread mulch
and prepare the garden for winter.
The project helped potential
and current members to get to know each other, plus it was a good way
for the chapter to show how Alpha Zeta benefits the community and
campus. More photos...
