Zonta Inter'l District 3 Governor's Event 2024

October 19, 2024

9:30 am - 3:30 pm

It’s the start of a new biennium and energy for positive change through Zonta service and advocacy is in the air! Our Zonta International District 3 goal: to build a better world for women and girls, and to have fun doing this serious work.

With that in mind, we are now formally inviting you to a special one-day event for all of District 3 on Saturday, October 19, 2024. We are hoping to have representation from all of our D3 clubs at this event…and we really want to see you there! It’s the first one-day, in person District-wide event we’ve organized since the pandemic.

The D3 board and Governor’s event committee has planned a spirited event full of learning, sharing ideas with other clubs, meeting other Zontians, good food, fellowship, and fun. We’d love to welcome guests and prospective members to attend, to catch the Zonta spirit, and to join your club!

Our theme for October 19 is Zonta: Resources, fellowship and creative fun for healthy clubs and strategies for member self-care to build strength for our lives and our work together.

Following a hot breakfast, the morning will be dedicated to speakers bringing new external resources and ideas to us, along with Zonta news and resources. The luncheon will be filled with Zonta spirit - a great time to celebrate and share with Zontians and guests. The afternoon will be dedicated to fun and self-care strategies to build our own health and creativity. There will be awards and some fun surprises as well.

We will end the afternoon at 3:30 to allow you to get home, hopefully before dark!

We are hosting the event at the Somerville Elks Lodge 375 Union Ave. in Bridgewater N.J. The venue is lovely, and easily accessible by car (with plenty of free parking). For those wishing to travel by train, we will coordinate shuttle service from the Somerville NJ Transit train station until 9:30 am, or you can order a ride with Lyft or Uber - it’s 5 minutes away. If you choose to come overnight on Friday: Several area Zontians have offered to host Zontians traveling from clubs more than 3 hours away for overnight in their homes on Friday evening.

The Bridgewater Hampton Inn is very nearby the event venue; and there are other hotels in the area, as well. If you are staying overnight at an area hotel on Friday evening, let us know so we can organize an informal get together on Friday evening.
