Have you ever wondered what you can do with a couple of dozen people and a "spare" Saturday morning?

We don't - because we know that you can make 154 Zonta Breast Care Cushions in 3 hours!  These cushions are destined for women undergoing breast surgery at hospitals in inner Sydney.

Or, for a real crowd pleaser, if you have 30-40 people, in about 3 hours you can also assemble about 1000 Zonta Birthing Kits to go to making childbirth safer in developing countries.

Members of the Zonta Club of Sydney Breakfast are drawn from all over Sydney with two things in common - a desite to advance the status of women and a preference for a breakfast meeting in the central CBD of Sydney. This fits better into our lives and working arrangements than the alternative times and places for Zonta clubs that meet elsewhere - closer to where we live, for example.

Now masters of the art of getting a great deal done in a small amount of time, we meet on the first Tuesday of the month, at 7am.  If you would like to visit the Club, please email us at: sydneybreakfast@zontadistrict24.org

To get the year off on to a flying start, the Club got together on a Saturday morning to do some strategic planning for the year.

The Club in action

As well as working to advance the health status of women through our work on Zonta Breast Care Cushions and Zonta Birthing Kits, to encourage the professional and educational advancement of women, the Club makes an annual award to a woman in the second year of Engineering at the University of Technology Sydney.  We are currently considering other wards that may be useful in terms of advancing the professional and/or educational status of women - let us know if you have a suggestion.

In addition to advancing the health status of women through support for the Zonta Breast Care Cushion Project and the Zonta Birthing Kit project, the Club has supported other initiatives such as advocating in favour of ensuring the appropriate funding of the breastcreening mammogram program.

The Club has also sought to work to improve the legal status of women by advocating against against the trafficking of women and supporting initiatives such as refuges for women who have been trafficked into Australia.

Formed in 1998, the Zonta Club of Sydney Breakfast recently celebrated its tenth anniversary with a champagne breakfast - and we do mean celebrated!
