President's Message…
Zonta Club of Marietta and Environs
The Zonta Club of Marietta and Environs currently has 27 active members of various ages with a diverse range of backgrounds and career choices. We have members who are Business Owners, Real Estate Professionals, Professors, Architects, Insurance Investigators, Farmers and Many More… Although we come from varied backgrounds, we all have a common goal of working together to advance the status of women worldwide through service and advocacy.
Our Zonta Club acts on all levels from Local to International. Some of our current local Service projects are:
- Working at the annual Broughton Ice Cream Social in July.
- Volunteering for the annual EVE Silent Auction in August.
- We give funds to a local hospital so they can provide free Mammograms to women in need of this service in October.
- Help Community Action with their annual Secret Santa Program in December.
- Volunteer to help the local EVE Shelter with their annual “Chocolate on the Levee” fundraiser in February.
- Help to coordinate the “Young Women in Public Affair's” Program, with a goal to encourage more young women to participate in public and political life by recognizing a commitment to the volunteer sector and to advancing the status of women.
- Volunteer to help with the annual Hospice Fashion Show in April.
- Volunteer for Relay-for-Life in May.
- Fund various Washington State Community College and Jane M. Klausman Scholarships in May.
- Organize and volunteer for the Club's Bi-Annual Unique Boutique Fundraiser held every April and November. This Fundraiser allows the club to give several Washington State Community College Scholarships each year!
Our club's meetings are held monthly on the Second Thursday of each month at the Lafayette Hotel in Marietta, Ohio at 7:00pm.
