Hello My Fellow Zontians!
Do you wonder how to be more active in the Club? Well let me
tell you, JULY is one of the best active months to utilize your
membership in Zonta Club of Cheyenne. From attending the
more casual & fun social general meeting this month to volun-
teering your time to help hang flyers at the rodeo grounds and
other key places around town; as well as helping out at our
Club’s Zonta booth at the CFD Pancake breakfasts & Truckers
Against Trafficking truck there are many ways to feel as if you
are making a difference in our community. Because isn’t that
why we all belong to this club…to make a difference? I love July
for this reason. If you’re a new member and aren’t sure which
direction to take or if you’re a long-standing member and want to
change direction, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any
other members for guidance. July is a great month to test the
waters to see where you feel you fit in best and find a committee
to settle into if you haven’t already!
See you on the front lines!
With appreciation,
Kristie Wilson, President
