Message from New President of Zonta Club of Stanthorpe

“As newly appointed President, I would like to say how excited I am to preside over such an amazing group of women. I am very passionate about what Zonta stands for and look forward to my two year term with a fantastic new Board.

We recently had our Annual Changeover Dinner at the Stanthorpe International Club and welcomed special guests, The Hon. Lawrence Springborg MP, Minister for Health and Member for Southern Downs and Cr Peter Blundell, Mayor of the Southern Downs, to join in our celebrations. Minister Springborg acknowledged the hard work that Zonta does and congratulated our Club on each and every one of the activities we do to advance and improve the status of women worldwide. The Mayor, Cr Blundell,  also acknowledged our hard work and dedication and wished us well for our coming year.

In the very near future we will hold our annual planning day where Club members discuss the year’s calendar of events. These will include our regular events such as the Pink Dinner, for breast cancer awareness, the Yellow Dinner for International Women’s Day, and the assembly of birthing kits for women in third world countries. We have a number of other events and activities on the horizon and I look forward to sharing more about these in the near future.”
