The Zonta Club of Lansing was organized January 27, 1922 by the Zonta Club of Detroit with a charter membership of twenty-nine; they incorporated June 1, 1979. The club has been instrumental in chartering 8 other Zonta Clubs, thereby contributing to an expansion of programs that advance the status of women. The early members, as leading business and professional women in our community, began a tradition of excellence and dedication to the needs of women and children. Their accomplishments and stature in our community formed the foundation for Zonta Club of Lansing that is recognized today as one of the most prestigious and hard working service clubs in the area. Zonta Club of Lansing provides generous contributions to local and global projects that aim to improve the status of women's health, education and economic circumstances. Members are enthusiastic and committed to their good works, utilizing their creativity, service hours and financial resources.
