Letter from current president
Welcome to the Zonta Club of Cincinnati Web site. We are excited that you are interested in one of the most unique women’s service organizations in the world.
The Zonta Club of Cincinnati celebrated our 75th anniversary in 2010. We currently have 40 high quality 
women who are members, and they are making a positive difference in the lives of the women and children who are most vulnerable in Greater Cincinnati. Through our service, advocacy and fundraising efforts, we support organizations like The Bethany House, YWCA, Hamilton County Rape Crisis Center, Visiting Nurse Association, North Fairmount Community Center and many others. We advocate for women returning to college by providing scholarships through our Ann Rasche Scholarship Fund to Cincinnati State College.
Membership in Zonta is an honor and a privilege. Zonta Club membership provides opportunities to meet other professionals and executives who are united in their mission to improve the lives of other women and their families. Our meetings provide a venue for service, fellowship and friendships. Please contact our membership committee (info@zonta-cinti.org) for more information or to attend an upcoming club meeting.
Sincerely,
Glenda Carota, President 2010-2012
