Thank you for your interest in the Zonta Club of the Morristown Area, and providing the opportunity to introduce you to Zonta.

Zonta International is a global organization of executives and professionals working together to advance the status of women worldwide through service and advocacy.  Nearly 33,000 members belong to more than 1200 Zonta Clubs in 67 countries and geographic areas.

The mission of Zonta International is to:
 

		Improve the legal, political, economic, health, educational and professional status of women through service and advocacy
		Work for the advancement of understanding, goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of executives in business and the professions
		Promote justice and universal respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms
		Unite internationally to foster high ethical standards, implement service programs, and provide mutual support and fellowship for members who serve their communities, their nations and the world

The Zonta Club of the Morristown Area was chartered in 1956, and undertakes service projects to benefit women and women’s issues in the local community, and supports projects selected by Zonta International. Members are encouraged to attend as many meetings as possible throughout the year, and to participate in Club service projects, committee work and fund-raising projects.

Our Club meets on the third Tuesday of every month, September through June. Regular meetings consist of a member-paid dinner combined with a business meeting and a program. We meet at 6:00 p.m. at Rod’s Ranch House restaurant, at the Madison Hotel on Madison Avenue, in Morris Township.

We invite you to join us at our next Club meeting to become acquainted with Zonta International and the Morristown Area Club. Attendance at your first meeting with our Club will be as our guest, in anticipation that you will be interested in membership.

Please notify us at contact@zontamorristown.org if you plan to attend so that an accurate number of meals can be planned. Also, please visit the Zonta International web site at www.zonta.org for additional information about Zonta International.

Members of our club are encouraged to take a moment to think of the dynamic women in their lives who would make excellent Zontians and invite them to join our Zonta Club or other Zonta Clubs.  Think of the sense of sisterhood and fulfillment you have had from being a Zontians.

Yours in Zonta,
