Thanks to all members for looking after the club so well during my absence.

 

Our Guest Speaker Brenda Price from the Zonta Club of Mornington Peninsula gave us a great incite into the Zonta organisation with her PowerPoint presentation

The Word Zonta, Meaning Honest and Trustworthy, is derived from Native American Sioux people

It is a world wide organisation established in 1919. To quote form their Website-

“In our hearts, as Zontians, we strongly believe in gender equality and know that it is not right to treat women as second-class citizens. Women’s rights are human rights and too often, women are denied basic human rights. This is not OK and as Zontians we want to change this, with friends and others committed to the change.”

Today, Zonta International is a global organisation of more than 29,000 members in nearly 1,200 Zonta clubs in 63 countries. They celebrated their 100th anniversary in 2019.

The current priority area of focus is the Sustainable Development Goals, which set the UN agenda for the next 15 years, concentrating on Goal 5 and areas that relate to women’s empowerment. The teams also monitor and report on ongoing issues such as human trafficking, women’s employment, human rights, the gender pay gap, and much more. Team members work in coalition with other like-minded organisations, especially via NGO committees, on issues of mutual concern, such as early and child marriage.

Like Rotary Zonta has a healthy mix of fund raising and hands on project with a concentration on issues to help women and girls in a word where the female gender is often born into a predominately “mans world”

Two ongoing projects are supported by Australian clubs in D22 (Queensland), D24 (NSW and ACT) and D23 which Mornington Peninsula Club belongs to.

 

Breast Care Cushions this is also a caused we have been supporting for a couple of years

The Market

January's Market was our best to date and we we should look forward to even better results and Stall holders and the public get to know it better. With this in mind we are putting a lot of work into the publicity side of the project.

We had over 40 stalls present on the day and we now have over 90 potential stall holders on our regular mail outs.The day also proved a great opportunity to sell raffle tickets so we now well into the profit zone.

 

Australia Day

Our contribution here as in the past centred mostly on the cutout painting and again the opportunity to sell raffle tickets. And these were sold at a great rate. We had the credit card facility at the Raffle and it was just as well because one gentlemen wanted to buy $100 worth of tickets on his card.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tony offered to fill the buts our for him. So you could ask Tony if he can recite the ticket holder's name and telephone number at the next meeting.
