Zonta Club of Toowoomba Garden City

22/10/2026

Feeling seen, heard and supported can make a lasting difference in a woman’s life.

We welcomed Jody CEO of Eva’s Place, to share with Zonta Club of Toowoomba Garden City the compassionate work her team delivers for women and families navigating challenging pregnancies, early parenting and pregnancy loss.

From practical baby supplies and mentoring to professional counselling, Eva’s Place provides support shaped around each woman’s needs. Its Toowoomba service supports around 60–70 clients each month.

We are proud that a portion of the proceeds from our 2026 Grand Homes Tour is supporting the Hope & Healing Project, helping Eva’s Place expand counselling support for women experiencing pregnancy grief and loss.

Thank you, Jody for sharing the difference this care makes, and to everyone who supported our Grand Homes Tour. Your contribution is helping women in our community feel less alone.

This week marked a very special milestone as we proudly launched our first Z Club with students from St Ursula’s College.

Z Clubs empower secondary school students to become leaders, advocates and active contributors within their school and wider community. Through service projects, advocacy and collaboration, students build confidence, develop leadership and communication skills, and help advance equality for women and girls.

We are incredibly proud to support and mentor these inspiring young women as they turn their ideas into action and discover the difference they can make.

This is the beginning of something truly powerful—the next generation of women creating change.

We warmly welcome the students of St Ursula’s College to the Zonta family.

Zonta Garden City Toowoomba fundraiser is the latest production by The Toowoomba Repertory Theatre presents EDUCATING RITA.

Educating Rita is one of W***y Russell’s best-known plays, drawing on every emotion to produce a profoundly moving, yet also hilarious two-hander.

Educating Rita is a witty yet poignant look at a working-class woman’s attempts to change her social circumstances through pursuit of an Open University qualification. Rita is a twenty-six-year-old working-class hairdresser, married to Denny and living round the corner from her family. She has enrolled on an Open University course in an attempt to discover herself and better her circumstances. Rita has realized that she is out of step with most of her family and friends as she is not prepared to settle for what she has already got. Her tutor is Frank, a frustrated poet and academic, who works as a lecturer at a university. He is an alcoholic and, to begin with, is less than enthusiastic about taking Rita on as a student. However, he is fascinated by her take on life and realizes that she has academic potential. Under his cynical guidance, Rita grows in confidence and understanding.
