| Townshend assists with career fair |
 |
|
More than 600 students in the College of Food,
Agriculture, and Environmental Science at Ohio State
University attend the college's semi-annual career
fair. The Townshend Chapter plays an important part
by setting up and tearing down as well as assisting
company representatives.
The career fair serves as a fundraiser for the
chapter. The college pays the chapter $300 to staff
this event. We had twenty-five members volunteer for
this event. And this year the chapter raffled a $25
Barnes and Nobel gift card to a member who
volunteered for the career fair. Sophomore Cristian
Clonch won the raffle.
-- Nick Weidenbenner, Townshend Chapter

| Question of the week |
|
|
Our advisor is retiring, does our new advisor need
to be a member of Alpha Zeta? -- Aubrey Krug,
Chancellor, Illinois Gamma
He or she does not need to be a member before taking
the advisor position. However, if your new advisor
is not a member, you should initiate him or her as
an associate member as soon as possible.

| North Carolina offering holiday help |
|
|
Each year the North Carolina Chapter adopts a family
that is in need during the holidays.
Macy, 3, has leukemia and recently received a bone
marrow transplant and finances are tight. Although
Macy's father works, her mom had to quit work to
take care of Macy and her older brothers. The family
has to stay isolated from other people to limit the
germs that Macy comes in contact with so her
brothers are now home schooled.
The isolation is taking a toll on everyone's
spirits, so we joined together as a brotherhood to
collect donations, shop for presents, and deliver
them to the family. We collected $600 to spend on
the family. Community relations are a great way for
people to learn about Alpha Zeta and agriculture.
As always, this activity is a touching way for us
give back to the community during the Christmas
season. -- Tori White, North Carolina

| Morrow paints faces at Petstravaganza |
|
|
The Morrow Chapte at University of Illinois reached
out to the community through Petstravaganza, an
event last spring held at U of I's stock pavillion.
The family-oriented event allowed kids and parents
to learn about companion animals through displays
and actual animals.
AZ's booth was face painting and temporary animal
tattoos for kids. Members signed up for two
one-hour shifts. It was alot of fun and the kids
were really cute!
-- Kinsey Park, Morrow Chapter
