We have the opportunity to passively fundraise with Wines Direct.. The amount received directly by the club will be $6 on every dozen purchased, plus on other occasions – it can be $30 per dozen. Those people that purchased would have an account with wine direct with the Zonta affiliation (similar to my CPA or frequent flyer number). Then you just login when you need to repurchase. More information to come. If Zontian’s decide to leave this page and shop elsewhere within our site they have already been electronically tagged which means we will be able to identify them as Zonta Breakfast Brisbane should they purchase…  https://www.winedirect.com.au/wine-fundraiser/?group=zontabb

With the benefit of all our supporters we achieved the 100,000 birthing kit milestone in 2017 which was such an exciting event to share.

We now need to re-group to focus on the girls and women who require us to be focussed on our next Zonta Birthing Kit Assembly day to ensure the women in rural and remote locations of PNG and other developing countries do not suffer from infection during childbirth, detrimentally affecting both the mother and the child.

We are currently planning the 2018 project so aiming to assemble 10,000 birthing kits with the assistance of 500 volunteers.

In this our 13th year we need your help in seeking support and sponsorship for this event

Diarise for Wednesday 15^th August and Saturday 18^th August for volunteering.

Her experiences allow Madonna to provide a fascinating yet entertaining keynote about the challenges and lessons she has learnt from the women she has interviewed along the way.
