What does it take to improve the status of women?

The most precious commodity that supporters of the Club can provide is their time, and we are very fortunate to have some very faithful workers.  Many of our workers are not members of the Club, but those who willingly do a myriad of jobs to assist in the work of the Club.

We are always in need of expertise that might assist in solving the issues relating the status of women in our community and elsewhere, but even if you feel you have no special knowledge to contribute, there is always lots of things to do.

Just for starters - a lot of ferrying of goods and things is done by colleagues and family members, birthing kits have been packed by almost everyone we know and an awful lot of sewing has been done by mothers, neighbours, sisters and girlfriends.

So even if you only have an hour or two occasionally, we would love to have more volunteers on call. 

Otherwise, the Club would also really welcome contributions to the kits provided to women in need (eg. at local refuges). Shown here (right) is Club member Pam Lancaster (red jumper) handing over ‘welcome kits’ to representatives of St George Women’s Housing.

The kits are intended as practical help for women re-establishing their household, such as when recovering from domestic violence circumstances.

In recent times, we have been very fortunate to have a free supply of Tontine filling for our Zonta Breast Care Cushions. 

Other contributors to this project have included many people who have made small donations to the Club or attended fundraising events in support of this project.

The Club runs a significant raffle at key events and would certainly welcome any contributions that the community may wish to offer, such as complementary passes. discount vouchers or gift certificates or even suitable products.
