Each year, Maroochy Zonta offers two ‘Mature-age Bursaries’ for women returning to study. This year, through the generosity of a local couple, we were able to offer three bursaries. Two of the winners were able to attend the dinner to be presented with their awards.
Presentations of financial support were made to three local organizations, SunnyKids, Sonshine Sanctuary and Lily House ….. undertaking amazing work towards empowering women experiencing difficulty in their lives.
