The Mackay North High School Z Club recently presented a generous donation to the Mackay Days for Girls team.
This donation was collected by Z Club members solely for Days for Girls in Mackay, to assist the local volunteer team in their efforts to produce sanitary kits for women and girls in developing countries.
The Zonta Club of Mackay was first chartered in October 1992, and at present, it consists of around 30 active members.
One of the many ways Zonta Club supports the community is by sponsoring Z Clubs in high schools across the Mackay District.
A High School Z Club is led by a voluntary teacher, with participation from students that are primarily female, though with a few male members as well. Meetings are typically held weekly or monthly, often during lunchtime where a representative from the Mackay Zonta Club serves as the contact person for all Z Clubs in the region.
Z Club student members are given resources, information and guidance to help them make a positive impact on the world around them. Together, they plan, organise, and participate in activities that offer them opportunities to improve the lives of others, both locally and internationally.
The club is made up of an enthusiastic and diverse group of women which reflects a cross-section of the Mackay community. Despite differences in age, careers, lifestyles, backgrounds and experience, the compassionate group includes a blend of young professionals, business owners and retirees that all share a love for their community.
Zonta International remains a leading global organisation that empowers women worldwide through service and advocacy, with a focus on visualising a world in which women’s rights are acknowledged and every woman is able to achieve her full potential.
