President Patti Wilson's Message for March 2011

Dear Zontians,
Here is our schedule for the next couple of months:
March 23, Wednesday Dinner Meeting, Speaker Toni Roberts on Micro Loans, Terri
Goldstein’s home
April 2, Saturday, Area 1 Meeting, Sacramento, Holiday Inn
April 27, Wednesday, Espanol Restaurant at 6:30pm cost $25 for a three course
dinner. Speaker is Sarah Moussa.
We had a wonderful time at the SAEHC collaging with the women at the safe house.
They were very thankful for the breakfast food donation we gave them. Please make a note, at the Area 1 meeting
we will be looking for food donations for them, the only time they eat is when the food is donated.
District 9 has sent out a club challenge. They are asking for every member of the club to donate
to the Zonta International, the amount of the individual donation does not matter. All
clubs that meet the 100 percent mark will be invited to a special ZI Foundation reception at the
International Convention in Torino, Italy. Visit www.zonta.org to donate.
Thank you to our February dinner meeting speaker Deb Roth for sharing her empowering experience
with women in our community. It was educational for everyone.
Another Thank You to Elisabeth Mahan, she not only set up our new website, www.zontagreatersac.org but donated the
URL fee. Thank you so much for your generosity!
In Sisterhood, Patti Wilson, ZCGS President

The Zonta Club of Greater Sacramento Fall Activities

On November 13 members of ZCGS sponsored a Saturday Girl’s Night In at the Sacramento
Area Emergency Housing Center. We provided pizza and drinks plus all of the materials
needed for a fun and inter-active evening of collaging. Our suggested theme was “Things
that make you Happy. Most of the women participated
and all of us had a wonderful time.
If you are interested in donating to the SAEHC here
are some of the items needed by the shelter:
sheets, blankets, towels, toothpaste, shampoo/
conditioner (the ones from hotels are perfect), laundry
soap, feminine hygiene products, women’s underwear,
socks and bras (new), paper goods, diapers and children’s puzzles and games.
Monday, December 13 we will be at the St. John’s Women and Children’s Shelter. Since this
is our first visit we opted for preparing and serving dinner to the estimated 120 women and
children. St. John’s Mission: to support homeless women and children to advance to a point of crisis to a position of self-sufficiency.
