SERVICE PROJECT

Make Yourself a Star

Zonta's District IV Board met in Pittsburgh on November 15. Centurian Brenda Kagle attended the meeting. Sadie Kroeck attended for the portion where members of the Pittsburgh South Club discussed plans for their service project. Pittsburgh South is seeking to increase their membership and hopes to do so by generating interest in their service project entitled "Make Yourself a Star." Zontians have agreed to provide training for residents of the Bethlehem House on resume writing and interview techniques. District IV is asking other clubs to support this effort. The president of Three Rivers South, Susan O'Connell, presented this service project to the Pittsburgh Club's Board on December 1. If you are interested in volunteering for this very worthwhile project, call Susan at (home) or (work) or email her at S @aol.com.
