Janesville Zonta reflects on Inspiring Women for IWD
Janesville Zonta hosted a night of sharing stories about “Inspiring Women” to celebrate International Women’s Day. Attendees said it was a beautiful and moving event. 
Supporting our Community
Janesville Zonta had great fun at the 16:49 Lip Sync contest. We didn’t win, but it wasn’t for a lack of effort (or bribes, either). 16:49 which supports homeless youth in Rock County raised over $60,000 with the Lip Sync contest. We were honored to be a part of it.
Attached are some incriminating photos of Zontians Edie, Beth, Cathy, and friends, Melanie and Vicky, hamming it up on stage. Wait ’til next year!
Celebrate International Women’s Day!!
