Domestic violence main focus for Zonta.jpg "Zonta dolly 4(copy)") Coming to a town near you in November will be some very special visitors – our orange advocacy dolls. The Mangawhai Zonta club is part of the international ‘Zonta Says No’ project, which is taking place all over the world at the end of November. Its aim is to bring attention to the horrific statistics of domestic violence, which, in New Zealand, have reached an alarming level and to promote the message that domestic violence is not okay.The Zonta promotion is linking nationally with the ‘White Ribbon’ and ‘It’s Not OK’ campaign. The dolls had their first outing on October 26 where Zonta teamed up with Judy Kennedy from Te Ha at Mangawhai Beach School Gala Day to promote the upcoming area initiative to raise awareness of domestic violence. During November the dolls will be covering Kaiwaka, Maungaturoto, Waipu, Mangawhai and Ruakaka, so keep a look out for them. On Saturday November 23 at the Bream Bay Community Centre in Ruakaka the dolls will be supporting the White Ribbon bike riders as they leave for their ride to Whangarei. The bikers will be leaving at 10am, so come along and help us to give them a good sendoff. The Zonta Club are also pleased to announce their 2013 Spirit of Adventure scholarship goes to Rodney College student Charlene Kahotea-Smith who will be taking her voyage in 2014. By Sue Poynter MESSAGE: Zonta members, and orange dolly’s, push their Zonta Says No campaign at Mangawhai Beach School gala day. |
