District 6 News

All but one of our 26 clubs were represented at the 62^nd Zonta International Convention held June 26-July 2^nd in Orlando, Fl, 22 of which had delegates attending, with three represented by proxy. District 6 had one of the largest delegations, with about 60 attending, out of almost 1600 members at convention.  Schedules were full, with leadership training, open forum, volunteer assignments and business sessions. It took two photo appointments to get all of us in one of the two pictures. Opening ceremony was impressive and special for District 6 with the Zonta International flag carried by Jacqueline Beaudry, Chairman of the Zonta International Foundation Development Committee and Past Governor of District 6.

Kudos to the  Zonta Club of St. Charles-Geneva-Batavia and Zonta West-Illinois who distributed $17,000 in grants and scholarships at their Annual Awards Banquet on May 6th at Geneva History Center in Geneva!  Check out their article in the Chicago Tribune:  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/suburbs/aurora/community/chi-ugc-article-zonta-club-of-st-charles-geneva-batavia-awar-2-2014-05-12,0,1825960.story
