President's Message

April 2012

Dear Zontians:

Marilu del Carpio Presidet Tulips, cherry blossoms, tourists, dues and our Annual Gala – all the signs that spring is here. About the Gala. It was a beautiful event; people enjoyed the evening, the Howard University Jazz Ensemble and the dancing music by Jared – the feedback was very positive. All the components for a successful event were there except the number of attendants – including sponsored guests we had 112 persons. It was quite disappointing that we did not meet the required break-even point and the event resulted in a loss. It is time now to reflect on what options can we realistically pursue to raise funds for our projects. The Club needs to seriously address its fundraising capabilities and determine what level of commitment can be expected from the members and how much can we do for our service program and scholarships.

On another note, the Scholarship Committee has already started the process for our undergraduate awards and it expects to render its recommendations by the end of May. At the same time, they are still working on the overhaul of our guidelines and a proposal should be forthcoming early in the next fiscal year.

Spring is also DUES time. Have you sent your renewal? Remember that we have to make the payments to Zonta International in May. Don’t delay it anymore, you can also renew on line.

Don’t forget to sign up for the Annual Meeting. I hope to see you there.

Marilu del Carpio,
President, Zonta Club of Washington D.C.
