Our Club
The Zonta Club of Brisbane River Inc is one of a number of Zonta clubs in the Brisbane area. The members meet for dinner on the last Tuesday of each month (excluding December) at the Red Brick Hotel, 83 Annerley Road, Wooloongabba. Meetings commence at 6.30pm and generally conclude by 8.30pm.
Opportunities for Members include:
- Having a meaningful impact on women’s lives

Through service, education and advocacy Zontians work together to make women’s equality a reality not just in our community but globally as well.
