The Zonta Club of the Franklin Area has presented reading materials for women to REACH in Franklin.
Fifty booklets on financial management and two self-help books were given at a presentation at the REACH for Bargains store. Zonta supports REACH in Jackson County and Macon County.
REACH of Macon County and Jackson County helps women and families by fighting violence in the home and sexual assault anywhere. It runs 24/7 crisis hotlines, counseling and education services and a shelter in Macon County.
The Franklin Zonta Club is the only one of this international organization in North Carolina.
Zonta focuses on helping women and their families reach their full potential by addressing education and health needs, by working to end violence against women and by supporting women in the workplace.
Zonta in Franklin will soon be announcing major fundraising plans for 2021that will help address these topics in our community. In 2020 the club nominated a WNC student who won a prestigious Jane Klausman scholarship from Zonta USA.
