Ronald McDonald House - Thank you!

Thursday, January 24-th, was an evening of "load lifting" from  the shoulders of the burdened folks at Ronald McDonald House.

A "thank you" to Ellie, Kitty, and Linda H. for donating food for our bimonthly dinner.

Another big "thank you" to Linda T., Edna, Sigrid, and Blanca for all the work they did to provide an evening of good food, friendly conversation, listening-caring ears, and clean-up at the end of the evening!

Zonta's positive impact on these adults and children is found in their eyes and sincere appreciations.

THANK YOU!

A Great Way to Start the Year

What a wonderful feeling to be able to deliver 75.6 pounds of food to Family Services this month.  This cornucopia of goodness included 10 box meals (e.g., hamburger helper), 3 macaroni and cheese dinners, 2 rice-a-roni mixes, 9 cans of canned ravioli, an 8 pack of ramen noodles. 2 pounds of spaghetti, a 5 pound bag of flour, a 5 pound bag of brown rice, a huge container of instant mashed potatoes, 7 cans of pork and beans, 6 cans of evaporated milk, 1 box of powdered milk, a box of honey cornbread, a box of quick bread mix, and 14 assorted canned foods.  Whew!  We were busy this month.  Thank you again to all who contributed. 

Our next collection will be our program meeting on February 20, 2008.  The theme will be “heart healthy” foods since February is our "heart" month.  This may include foods like beans, canned vegetables, brown rice, canned fruits, etc.  If you have any questions, please contact Deborah Severo.

UN Flag Given to Committee Members

On her most recent trip to the UN headquarters in New York City, Committee Chair Judith Kohlbach Fulton bought small UN flags which she presented to each member of the Zonta Club of Redlands UN Committee.  Members Charlene Daniels, Deborah Severo, Linda Tung, and Linda Derebery, ex-officio submit short articles to The Zonta Club of Redlands Newsletter as one means of waving the UN flag for our sisters in Zonta.

Feb 6th Meeting

The Feburary 6 meeting agenda is to package the gifts or Option House. The Service Committee is purchasing the items and members will be asked to package them into nice gifts. Bianca is bringing special Valentine Day cards made by her crafts class at the Library.

Food for Family Service

Just a quick reminder that we will be collecting food for Family Services at our program meeting this Wednesday.  There will be a box set up in the entry way.  They are in need of canned milk, pork and beans, rice-a-roni, instant mashed potatoes, juices, canned tomato sauce, beans (canned/dried), rice, canned ravioli, and boxed meals (hamburger helper, chicken helper, tuna helper).  Thanks for anything you can bring. 

First Meeting of 2008

The first meeting of 2008 is Wednesday, January 16. It will be a combined business and program meeting with focus on planning for Option House Valentine service. Remember to bring your items for Family Service.
