Zontians around the world are gearing up for a busy November. This is the month when we put the spotlight on ending violence against women. There are lots of things to get involved with this year. Tonya Ozone, District 1 Advocacy Chair USA, shared ideas for clubs to use in the November #Shorts about the Zonta says No – 16 Days of Activism campaign. What is your club doing? Please share pictures and write up with fellow Zontians around the World, and send a copy to info@zontadistrict1.org. Below are some key dates:
- 1 November to 3 December – Every Member, Every November – a time to support the Zonta Foundation for Women.
