Our main fundraiser is the Zonta Expo - we put on every year the first Thursday in October at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center. We sell booth space to showcase local businesses. There is also a style show, cafe, silent auction and a motivational speaker. We sell entrance and raffle tickets to win $1000. In October 2008 we will celebrate 25 years of the EXPO!! The money we raise at the EXPO is granted locally to non profits who work to improve the status of women and children, and to Zonta International. Over the past 24 years we have granted over $300,000 from Expo profits.
