THE LOUISVILLE ZONTA CLUB

The Zonta club of Louisville was chartered on May 14, 1960. Like all local Zonta clubs, its objectives are:
*To stimulate the desire of each member to be of service;
*To promote good fellowship as an opportunity for service;
*To quicken the interest of each member in the welfare of the local community, and to cooperate with others in its civic, social, commercial, and industrial development.
For over 50 years, Zonta Club of Louisville has served our community in advancing the status of our women through projects and grants. Our dues and contributions support Zonta International's Foundation and Service Projects.
