Zonta was
founded in 1919 in Buffalo, New York. The
Nineteenth Amendment had just been proposed
granting women the right to vote and allowing
women to participate more fully in careers and
government. Since the United Nations was
formed in 1945 Zonta has worked with it as a
Non-Governmental Organization. |

|
 |
The Zonta Club of Westchester meets on the third
Tuesday of each month except in July and August,
with programs that meet our objectives and
goals, as well as provide fellowship and
networking. |
