Zonta International is a worldwide organization that has empowered women and girls through service and advocacy for 100 years. It was founded in 1919 in Buffalo, New York, by a group of forward-thinking women who were not satisfied with the predominantly social nature of many women's organisations.

Instead, Zonta's founders envisioned a women's service organisation that would advocate for laws and policies that ensure gender equality and help every woman and girl realise her full potential.

Zonta International is a non-governmental organisation with general consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

Zonta Club of Rotorua members are hosting a cocktail function at the Millennium Hotel on November 8 from 5.30pm to 7pm and all are welcome to attend.
