Club dinner meeting celebrated ZI’s 100th birthday

Members attending the November dinner meeting enjoyed celebrating Zonta’s 100th birthday. The ‘American’ menu of pork spare ribs and dessert of pancakes with maple syrup and ice-cream was a good choice for the evening. Candles turned the pancakes into birthday cakes. Guest speaker Helen Gallehawk (who was the recipient of the Zonta CQUniversity Science prize in 2001) gave a very interesting presentation of her years of study as a mature student, followed by some interesting career move stories. We look forward to staying in touch with her. President Catherine presented Helen with a gift of Zonta Coasters.

A big thank you to Elizabeth for the birthday decorations which added greatly to the atmosphere of the dinner, making for a very enjoyable evening.

What's On

District 22 CONFERENCE 2025

Mt Isa club are delighted to be the hosts of District 22 conference 12-14 September 2025. They are already well advanced in planning and the venue will be confirmed soon. There will be an amazing social program incorporating the best of Mt Isa attractions – the Isa Amphitheatre with mine tours, the historic Underground hospital and Tent House and a visit to the Uranium mine are all on the program. We hope the memorial service will be especially poignant at the Miner’s church which commemorates the towns history.

A range of accommodation options are available with special rates being negotiated including caravan parks and cabins and hotels. Local members will be offering billets for those interested in a home away from home.

So start planning for a few days in Mt Isa now- perhaps do a road trip to see the outback and stay awhile. Travel with friends and make fabulous memories on the way. If flying keep an eye out for flight deals.

Come and enjoy real Aussie hospitality in the Isa
