2008-2009 President’s Goals

Our District 8 Governor, Terri Turi, has “pledged to pursue the dreams of Zonta Members of District 8 by leading teh lcubs and individual ontrians to ‘Dare to Dream’ and to see those dreams come true.” My dream is for the Zonta Club of Grants Pass to be the “go to” organization for women in Josephine County.Goals for 2008-2009

  • Select hands-on service projects addressing women’s issues of our community, such as domestic violence, homelessness, health, literacy and drug use.
  • Increase membership and mentor our members.
  • Be visible advocates for women’s issues.
  • Achieve our goals by partnering with other organizations and making use of District 8 and Zonta International as resources.We became members of Zonta to make a difference in our community, our nation and the world while at the same time enjoying the fellowship of women and men with the same goals. We are a small organization that IS making a difference.
