Zonta International is a global organization that enhances the status of women around the world. The local clubs, however, also improve the lives of local women. The Zonta Club of Billings gives women the opportunity to serve the community by participating in hands-on projects. Most recently, I participated in a project with the Women's and Family Shelter. Club members tied blankets with the women in the shelter and helped mentor the women while making blankets for domestic violence victims. A club member and woman from the shelter work together on two blankets. One blanket is given to the Billings Police Dept. to give to victims when responding to domestic violence calls. The other blanket is given to the woman in the shelter. It has been a fun and rewarding project.
