The Zonta Club of Noosa last month celebrated 25 years of work to raise awareness of women’s rights, to improve the status of women and to put an end to violence against women and children.
In quarter of a century the club has raised more than $550,000 toward local projects and the fulfilment of international commitments.
Club president Jan Comins said this year the club upgraded the Shine Houses initiated by Zonta 12 years ago to provide a safe haven for women and children fleeing domestic violence.
Special guests at the anniversary held at Flux Restaurant included Noosa MP Sandy Bolton, Zonta District 22 Governor Ansmarie van Erp, Zonta Area 1 Director Lyn Agnew, past Zonta Noosa presidents and members.
