ZONTA DISTRICT 12 - Zonta Club of Laramie

Organized May, 1951

Zonta International is a worldwide organization of executives in business and the professions working together to advance the status of women.

Fundraising
The Zonta Club of Laramie had three fundraising projects in 2008-2009. They included a Style Show, a rose sale and a t-shirt sale.

The Style Show is generally held in November and this past year was held at the Hilton Garden Inn. Clothing for men, women and children was provided by local merchants and modeled at the event. The 2009 Style Show will mark the 25th anniversary of this event. Funds raised through this event were used to support a myriad of local service projects, scholarships, and Zonta International programs. For more information, contact Angela Ver Ploeg or Maryalice Gulino

Yellow roses were sold by Zontians to commemorate International Women's Day in March. Zontians honor co-workers, friends and family by purchasing a rose, which is then delivered by a Zontian. Funds raised through this effort were used to support Zonta International service projects and programs.

This year, Zontians purchased t-shirts and vests that were created with the Zonta logo by Laramie Zontian Stephanie Carter. These t-shirts are still available and can be ordered through Deedee Boysen. For pricing information about the t-shirts and vests, contact Deedee at LaramieZonta@gmail.com. Funds raised through this effort will be used to offset the cost of registration and travel to the District 12 Conference in Denver in October.
