Zonta Awards $10,500 in Scholarships to Local Women, June 11

The Coos Bay Area Zonta Service Foundation recently awarded $10,500 in scholarships to local women.  Recipients included accomplished graduating seniors, non-traditional students looking for a career change, and a special honor for outstanding citizenship called the Young Women in Public Affairs Award.  In addition, the Foundation honored Rosalie Johnson, the first person ever to receive a Zonta Scholarship in our community.  Members of the Zonta Club of the Coos Bay Area raise scholarship funds by hosting an annual event, the Celebrity Dinner.  “We are grateful to the community for their ongoing support of our scholarship program,” says Sue Karolyi, Scholarship Chair for the organization.  “Local contributions allow us to continue providing opportunities for women in our community to further their education.”  For more information, or to donate to Zonta’s Scholarship Program, please contact Sue Karolyi at 541-297-6378 or pook@uci.net.
