Welcome!

We are a chartered club of Zonta International and are dedicated to advancing the status of women and serving our community through service, local and international contributions, and to achieving personal and professional growth in a nurturing and supportive environment.

Our chapter was chartered in 1926 by Mrs. Katherine Wallen who came from South Bend, Indiana. Our current membership is approximately 20 executives and professionals from diverse backgrounds. It is our focus to create a greater awareness and appreciation of the objects of Zonta through service to our community and to the world.
