On the
second day of the fair March 18th we had a successful sale of
turmeric, we sold it all. We continued selling ginger and the Lares chips that
included cassava, dasheen, plantain, breadfruit, sweet potato and lile Malanga
chips.

We
participated in the 5 Days with our Earth fair, a yearly celebrated fair in our
college campus. We bought a huge quantity of merchandise from “Harinas de Lares”
a local and traditional chip maker from Puerto Rico to sell at the fair. We also
sold ginger and turmeric which we had collected a few days earlier from our
dear Dr. Custodio’s farm who is always a great help to us.

In preparation for the
annual agricultural fair of our university “Cinco Días Con Nuestra Tierra” (Five days with our land”,
Alpha Zeta picked ginger in Dr. Custodio’s house in Mayaguez on Sunday, March
15th from 8:30 to about 2:00 pm. Three members participated. They extracted the
ginger, cleaned it and packed it to sell at the fair.

This Sunday the new Alpha Zeta pledges ran a concessions stand for Florida’s baseball team against Tennessee. Ten pledges volunteered which upgraded us to a bigger stand that typically sells more food and brings in more money. When the crowd wasn’t there, it was nice to socialize and bond with the brothers. It was also a great way for us to communicate by passing along orders and working together. Overall, we made quite a bit of money from our stand just with 10% back from sales and had a great time doing it. The baseball team won too! - Carson Cooper, PC Fundraising Chair

This past Saturday the new Alpha Zeta pledge class held a restaurant fundraiser at a local frozen yogurt vendor called Yogurtology. It was a great way for the pledge class to kick off fundraising because we got to eat super yummy fro-yo. If you went with brothers, it was nice to socialize while helping out our organization and if you went with non-AZ friends it was a great way to get them involved in supporting AZ! It was super easy to set up too—just try emailing local business to see if they’ll give you a percentage of their sales for one night. - Carson Cooper, PC Fundraising Chair
