The Zonta Club of Redcliffe Inc. (ABN: 64820 813 003) was formed in May 1980 by Dr. Helen Row from the Zonta Club of Brisbane. It was originally named the Zonta Club of Redcliffe Area, and included the Shires of Pine Rivers and Caboolture. These shires now have their separate Zonta Clubs.
Redcliffe is a bay-side city situated about 30 km. north of Brisbane. Club Meetings are held at the The Komo, on the fourth Monday of each month at 6.00pm for a 6.15pm dinner meeting. Please contact us for your invitation to our meetings: info@zontaredcliffe.org.au

We are a very active advocacy and service club. We work together through a committee system to achieve our goals. We aim to meet many of these needs in our own community, as well as internationally through Zonta International, particularly in the area of women’s health and education.

People join service clubs because of their good citizenship, their ideas, abilities and energies. It is a way of giving something back to the community which helped to educate us. For ourselves, membership in Zonta is very rewarding and stimulating.
Conventions are held every two years in different parts of the world. District Conferences and Area meetings are held in our own country. These are opportunities for us to improve leadership skills, meet new people, make new friends, network, and have fun and fellowship along the way.
