Dear Area 2Zontians:

I am so excited about the upcoming area meeting and I want to encourage all club members to attend. Our theme is“EMPOWER GLOBALLY, ENGAGE LOCALLY” and will be like no other Area meeting you have attended! It is geared toward every member of your club, not just officers, and will give you a lot of information to share in your club and your community about Zonta and how we live our mission!

Your Greater East Texas Club has worked hard to make sure everything is wonderful for your visit, down to the last detail, including our Welcome Reception on Friday night in the dining room of the hotel, our meeting facilities and “Saturday night dinner on the town”.

***The Saturday meeting is scheduled at Papacita’s Mexican restaurant which is located adjacent to the Holiday Inn Express. A Fajita buffet will be served at lunch. A block of 20 rooms has been reserved at the Holiday Inn Express located at 300 Tuttle Circle, 903-663-3791. Rooms are $99.00 per night and include a complimentary breakfast.

So Presidents, please share this with your members, make your plans and join us in Longview for a Zonta experience like no other. I look forward to seeing you there!
