Hello Alumni Brothers,
Picnic Day is tomorrow and we’re excited to see you all there. Before the main event gets underway I wanted to share the details one last time and highlight our fundraising agenda for the year.
Event Details
Picnic Day is planned for this Saturday, April 23rd, and there will be an event at our chapter house at 501 Russell Boulevard. We will be hosting this private event for alumni and friends to celebrate the resumption of our Picnic Day traditions, the continuation of our fraternal bonds, and to address important fraternity business. Doors open at 11AM and we will have an Alumni Board meeting at 1PM.
Fundraising Agenda
The house has seen many improvements on the part of the Board and Chapter leadership over the last year, but there are fixes backlogged that require further financial support to tackle. This year our goal is to raise $30,000 for critical house fixes. The full scope is outlined in the infographic below as well as this interactive graphic courtesy of Seaver Klug. It includes overhauling the dilapidated kitchen, fixing the caving roof and fixing long broken windows. Your support would mean the world to us and the undergraduates currently living in the house.
Fundraising Goals
Generous donors to the board have offered to match every dollar donated to a limit of $15,000. That means anything that you can chip in will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling your contributions all the way up to our campaign goal of $30k.
These dollars are bookmarked for these account fixes. You can rely on our board members to quickly move forward on fixes when their respective funding thresholds are reached.
Please consider donating to the Alumni Board for these important fixes, and stopping by the event in Davis this coming Saturday. Instructions on how to donate via check or bank transfer can be found here on our website. Our crowdfunding campaign will be live soon with more payment options so stay tuned for that!
We welcome your support, and appreciate the consideration you show in contributing to a greater source of value at our brotherhood property. Your helping hand contributes to better living conditions for our chapter tenants, and allows us to continue to serve the alumni of the Zeta Xi chapter.
All the best,
Peter Swanson
