NOTE: Depending upon the Colorado CDC guidelines the week before the event we may require mask wearing, except when eating lunch. Our tables hold a maximum of 6 this year to provide extra space for the attendee. If, on the day of the event, you feel ill, have a fever or cough, are recovering from illness, or have been exposed to the Covid-19 virus within the last two weeks please do not attend. Covid-19 vaccinations are highly recommended for all attendees. If there is a cancellation by our club due to a rise in Covid-19 in our area we will refund all tickets and vendor payments (less any credit card fees).
Our 2021 Theme will be ..FabYOUlous Women.. and our Author is Melissa Venable.
From train wreck to trainer, Melissa Venable has taken the ride, hit the bottom, done the work and risen from the ashes. She brings the agony and the inspiration from her experiences of wrestling with a life-threatening Anorexia Nervosa diagnosis and battling to escape an emotionally (and sometimes physically) abusive marriage; and delivers a message of hope, empowerment and love to women who long to rediscover and re-ignite their innate FabYOUlousness.
The Annual 'Meet the Author' event raises funds to provide scholarships for local single mom's at Front Range Community College and other institutions of higher education.
The event is held at the Fort Collins Country Club with a plated luncheon to enjoy as the participants hear from our author. You'll also have an opportunity to support women-owned businesses by shopping at our vendor tables (everything from jewelry to artwork) and taking a chance on our silent auction items donated by local businesses. We hope you'll mark your calendars and invite your family, friends and colleagues to join you on September 18,2021. Tickets go on sale August 15 and are priced at $50. Each ticket entitles the holder to the luncheon and the gift of an autographed book from the author.
Vendor and sponsorship information is also available if you would like to market your business to women. Contact us at ZontaFortCollins@gmail.com.
If you cannot attend, consider a donation of any amount to go towards our scholarship fund. Thank you for helping us provide financial support to help young women complete their education.
Zonta Clubs select, fund and participate in community projects fundamental to promoting women's economic self-sufficiency, political equality, access to education and health care and the elimination of violence against women.
