Our place in the world
We are part of Zonta International, a worldwide service organisation advancing the status of women and girls.
Zonta International works through advocacy, community projects and fundraising initiatives. Our club carries that work into Melbourne — and supports it globally.
We warmly welcome new members, and we invite you to come to a meeting or an event before you decide to join.
