Zonta Club of Traverse City

Zonta Club of Traverse City A group of dedicated professionals that support the growth of women and children in Traverse City. The Traverse City chapter of Zonta was chartered in 1956.

Over the years, Zonta has participated in many area service projects. Our club is growing and now boasts nearly 100 members. The club has three main fundraisers each year, the annual Z-Tee Golf Outing in June, the Fashion Show in October and the Festival of Trees in November. The funds raised by our members are reinvested in our local community through grants and scholarships. This amounts to over $30,000 each year reinvested locally in the women and children of the Grand Traverse area!
