Dear Presidents
Dear Zontians of District 28
Between Christmas and New Year's Eve there are some days when I look back to the past year. Balancing the good and the bad events it brought is the obvious thing to do. Surprises happened as well. All this in the private, family, professional and also in the Zonta world. Above all, I find, it is a time for gratitude. Let me tell you, dear Zontians, that I am very happy to be a Zontian and that I owe a lot to Zonta, also as a private person.. Zonta being not just an anonymous organization but the gathering of you all, so many interesting, professional, engaged and caring women from all over the world.
A few examples: in 2009 I spent wonderful relaxing days after the District Conference with a Zonta friend. Just before Christmas I enjoyed the reception the Roman Zontians had arranged for the preview of "Amelia".
New Year's Eve I celebrated with Zontian friends in a very special place, a castle restaurant managed by a Zontian. And also, when I was sad with losses in my family, there were Zonta friends all over the world to console me. So, good Zonta feelings accompany me throughout. Thank you for your warm friendship and joyful work in view of advancing the status of women worldwide!
Well, Zonta does not only mean moments of friendship and relaxing fun but also work, so let's tackle what is on our agenda for 2010. Thank you for the project plans submitted, after examination you will be informed of the results in due time.
