Dear FG,
Last Sunday, two tiny parks and a university parking lot in beautiful downtown Isla Vista, CA were the site of a major music festival called ChillaVista. This festival was designed to show students and locals different ways to "live consciously" in the world around us. Many organizations and bands came together to promote responsible, healthy lifestyles including one we are all very familiar with, FeelGood.
When the ChillaVista organizers and the officers of FeelGood SB found out about each other, they immediately agreed that the only natural thing to do was to collaborate. Within a week, the spring 2007 ChillaVista featured the local FG chapter as the sole food service in the park. The deli provided a fun atmosphere to celebrate the end of our first semester in Santa Barbara and a perfect opportunity to raise awareness for global hunger. Our biggest sellers were the Gaucho (UCSB's mascot) which featured Pepper Jack cheese, bell peppers, and a shot of guacamole and the Greek which had tomatoes and olives. Both sold out of ingredients and we had to make three store-runs!
FeelGood SB would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the IV Food Co-op and the brothers of UCSB's AEPi chapter for the donations and volunteering during the festival. With their help and the hard work of our members, we raised $350 by the end of the day, our highest income ever!
Thanks to everyone for a great semester and here's to an even better Fall!
Herschel
FeelGood SB, Chair
