Role Models for Girls

“Zonta members provide role models for girls in Leelanau County. Many of our members started out in business as the only women in their field. Today Zonta’s Career Day and scholarship programs make us unique because we are focused on encouraging young women to choose the career they want, not to have their choices limited by stereotypes.”

—Kathie Wing, Past-President, Zonta Club of Leelanau Count

The Zonta Club of Leelanau County meets the second Wednesday of each month from September through May.

The Zonta Club of Leelanau County’s last general meeting was Wednesday, October 12, at the Village Inn in Suttons Bay. The meeting featured a discussion about the relationship between communication and early childhood brain development by Maggie Sprattmoran.

Maggie is committed to comprehensive universal early childhood service delivery—which is the model of the award winning Leelanau Children’s Center. Maggie has taught pre-schoolers and college students, been an eternal student (two MAs) herself, participates in a number of regional early childhood initiatives, and makes her home, gardens, swims, skis, and enjoys the bounties of life in Leelanau County despite the pull of wherever her two marvelous daughters are currently dwelling.

The next meeting will be Wednesday, November 9 at 6 PM at the Village Inn in Suttons Bay and will include the announcement of and recognition of this year’s recipient of the Zonta Club of Leelanau County’s Woman of the Year Award.
