glorious morning tea and picnic lunch in Henley Brook,
to raise funds for two women’s refuges and view
competitors in this years Avon Descent.
Assisting the ladies at Zonta and Koolkuna Refuges is
just one example of the many projects that the women of
the Zonta Club of Swan Hills Inc. support every year to
help less fortunate women in the community.

Night
Pants down!
In November each year, the Zonta Club of Swan Hills holds its annual Knickers Night.
Each member is asked to bring at least one pair
of undies and optional toiletries to donate to the
