Yesterday we celebrated the final game of the season for our softball players, and as a way of showing appreciation for all their hard work and dedication, we treated them to ice cream at Hi Ho—because when in doubt, get ice cream 🍦

We are proud to support local businesses and local softball leagues, and even more proud of these young ladies who showed up all season long with effort, teamwork, and heart. These athletes will grow to be the leaders of tomorrow, and we couldn’t be more proud of what they accomplished on and off the field this season.

A special thank you to our dedicated Zonta member Eileen, who helped organize the trip to High Ho and provided the photo. (Second photo credit: Ryan Wilcox; all remaining photos credit: Molly Brown ☺️)

The garden fairies worked for several hours weeding, planting, and getting our Garden space in front of Tim Hortons on North Union ready for the summer…
Thank you, Mikki, Donna and JoAnn for laughing along the way, and working through the raindrops!

Last evening, we gathered at Tony's Napoli on East State Street for an evening of delicious food, fellowship, friendship, and celebration as we closed out another successful Zonta year together.

During the evening, we shared birthday wishes with one of our board members and took time to recognize the dedication and accomplishments of three outstanding members whose terms on the Board of Directors have come to an end.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our current President JoAnne, along with board members Donna and Ann Marie, for their many years of dedicated service, leadership, and commitment to the mission and vision of Zonta. Their hard work, passion, and unwavering support have helped strengthen our club and positively impact our community.

Thank you for your service, your leadership, and the countless hours you have devoted to making a difference. We wish you all the very best and look forward to continuing our work together as fellow Zontians.

For this week’s Women-Owned Business Wednesday, we’re taking a one-week break to give a special shout-out to some amazing young ladies we had the opportunity to support last evening.

Members of Zonta enjoyed a wonderful evening of fellowship while cheering on the Olean Youth Softball Team in their blue Zonta jerseys at Forness Park. It was inspiring to watch these young athletes play with determination, teamwork, and enthusiasm.

Many of these young ladies will grow up to become exactly what our world needs. They may become doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers, business owners, mothers, community leaders, and so much more. We hope they find inspiration in the mission and message of Zonta as they pursue their dreams and discover their own paths.

We are grateful for the opportunity to support Youth Softball in Olean and to invest in the next generation of strong, confident, and capable young women. Keep up the great work, girls—we’re proud of you!

On this day, we remember our fallen heroes and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. We often see powerful Memorial Day images of the soldiers who fought for our freedoms, and we will always remember their courage and sacrifice.

But we also take a moment to recognize the women whose contributions were just as vital—those who served in uniform, worked behind the scenes, supported missions, cared for the wounded, and carried immense burdens at home and abroad. Their strength, sacrifice, and service are an essential part of our nation’s story.

Today, we honor them all, and we remember that freedom has always been defended by many, in many different ways.
