Summer Event – Neu-Life/ONG Collaboration and Celebration

Please consider attending this event next week! This event celebrates the collaboration between Our Next Generation (Zonta member La Toya Sykes) and Neu-Life (Zonta member Joann Harris-Commodore). In the past, we have provided support to both organizations but this collaboration among the 3 organizations is a significant opportunity for all.

Neu-Life provided Neu-STEPP programming for kids at ONG. Neu-STEPP is a healthy relationships program that includes significant educational segments on trafficking.

Zonta Club members are encouraged to attend if possible.

Help Us Make the Holidays Brighter for Teens in Foster Care

During the month of November, we are collecting money and will be taking donations on behalf of Allies For Teens in Foster Care.
 
The donations will go toward gifts and gift cards for teens in group homes in the Milwaukee community.  We hope to make their holidays a little brighter with our support, since these under-served teens do not have the traditional support of parents or foster parents.
 
If you would like to contribute please use the orange Donate Now button at the top of www.zontamilwaukee.org. Members and prospective members can bring Target gift cards and wish list items to the meeting on November 15th. A full list of items will be included in the newsletter.
