Meet the Zonta Club of Kaua'i
&
The Zonta Club of Kaua'i Foundation!
The Zonta Club of Kaua'i is a 501(c)(4), and
was chartered on April 1, 1952.
Like Zonta Club International,
Zonta Club of Kaua'i envisions a world
in which women's rights are recognized as human rights and
every woman is able to achieve her full potential.
In such a world, we believe, women will have access to all resources,
are represented in decision making positions on an equal basis with men and
that no woman will live in fear of violence.
We inspire women to be their best by exemplifying values of
fellowship, integrity, service,
advocacy, friendship and kindness through our work.
Our mission is: to empower women through service and advocacy.
To learn more about us, check out our Home Page.

Weinburg Foundation Working in partnership with the Weinberg Foundation Friends Program and Kaua'i Economic Opportunity, Zonta Club of Kaua'i members address the urgent needs of the community through a special service project each year. Easter Seals, the Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity are just a few of the organizations that benefit from members' efforts. Read about their hands on sewing project for the County's Women's shelter HERE in 2017. Read about their 2016 project providing care packages for the County's emergency shelter HERE. KEO Mana Olana Emergency Shelter Project On February 5, 2020, Zonta Kauaʻi members volunteered at the Kaua’i Economic Opportunity Mana Olana Emergency Shelter for the homeless. They provided dinner for 19 individuals and enjoyed spending time and socializing with them. Halloween Fellowship Gatherings Lots of fun was had at our October Halloween Fellowship gathering at Lilikoi Restaurant in Harbor Mall, Nawiliwili in 2019. Witches, cowgirls, guys, dolls and more, showed up for a wonderful Halloween celebration. |

Mahalo to Marge Akana, Lori Benkert, Jeanette Bonilla, Edie Ignacio-Neumiller, Lisa Arin, and Neva Olson (who is also a Rotarian).

Thanksgiving Luncheon Each year, members help to serve the Salvation Army's Thanksgiving lunch that takes place the day before Thanksgiving, at the Kaua'i War Memorial Convention Hall. Hundreds turn up for a delicious meal served up with lots of smiles. Happy Thanksgiving! Kaua'i Independent Food Bank Silver Anniversary Event On September 13, 2019, the Kaua'i Independent Food Bank held their Silver Anniversary event at the Kaua'i Veteran's Center. Thanks to Cyndi Ayonon for suggesting Zonta members assist at the Registration and Silent Auction Tables and selling donation drawing tickets. Seven Zonta members volunteered: Jeanette Bonilla, Cyndi Ayonon, Marge Akana, Lisa Arin, Edie Ignacio Neumiller, Lori Benkert and MaBel Fujichi. The Silent Auction (SA) was a success!!! Zonta Fellowship Mixers
It was the first successful and fun Zonta Fellowship Mixer on August 23, 2019 with 18 professional women in attendance. (Former) President Jeanette Bonilla (with Haku) is joined by 8 Zonta Club of Kaua'i members and 10 guests at the Mahiko Lounge, Gaylord's at Kilohana.

Fellowship gatherings occur quarterly and in the past
we have seen a wide variety of activities including painting, golfing, crafting and of course, food! Our Fellowship gatherings are a chance for us to gather socially (or online during 2020 so far!) and spend some quality time together. Zonta Club of Kaua'i also gets together with the Zonta Club of Hanalei and other clubs on the neighbor islands. |
