In recognition of International Women’s Day and Zonta Rose Day, and keeping with our District theme of Honoring the Past – It is only befitting that we take time to reflect on, honor and recognize our very first Zonta International President, Mary Jenkins. Mary was very much involved in furthering women professionals during the First World War. She was the first President of the Zonta Club of Syracuse, which was founded in 1919 and is one of the original first 5 founding Zonta Clubs. Mary was instrumental in the development of the Zonta emblem, the first governing policies and the establishment of what would become one of the most significant worldwide organizations for Women, Zonta International. Mary Jenkins, this rose is in honor of your legacy! District 9 D9 Members, test your knowledge about Zonta!
