History and Service of Zonta Club of the New Territories
Zonta Cub of the New Territories
was founded by our Honorary Advisor Mrs. Peggy Lam and the late lady Akers Jones
and inaugurated on 15th May 1982 with 28 charter members under the leadership
of our first President Dr. Teresa Lee.
For the past three decades,
members of the Zonta Club of the New Territories have pledged to work as one
to serve the community. We have supported and actively participated in a wide
spectrum of social services, targeting in particular for women, then elderly,
the young, the underprivileged and the handicapped. Some of these projects have
been pursued consecutively for several years; at the same time new projects
are being identified and undertaken each year. In recent years, our work has
also extended to promoting environmental protection.
We are proud to have successfully
launched our web-site on 1st December 2000 with home page consisting of information
about Zonta International, Zonta Clubs in Hong Kong as well as out Club history,
service and activities.
With the unfailing support
of our Advisor Mrs Peggy Lam since our inauguration and with our membership
now increased to 51, we shall continue to work together with dedication for
the advancement of our community in the spirits of Zonta.
