Celebrity Tribute, Zonta’s largest fundraiser of the year, Fabulous Follies in the Zonta Lounge will honor Shelly Hann. This community organizer and volunteer extraordinaire will be in the spotlight Friday, November 2, at the Odyssey Restaurant in Mission Hills. This Las Vegas-style extravaganza will feature music and lounge acts. Proceeds benefit Zonta scholarships and projects.
Santa Makes House Calls! Make your plans for the upcoming holidays! Zonta’s Rent-A-Santa program is a great way to add that something special to the holiday season! Santa and his entourage of Mrs. Claus, elves and/or Christmas music can tailor a visit to make your holiday occasion special. Zonta can help make a party memorable. Depending on wishes for the occasion, the visit can be customized for children’s parties – Santa can deliver presents left on the porch, read stories, and much more. Neighborhood parties, adult gatherings, business parties and community events are a specialty. Visits can be arranged beginning Thanksgiving weekend and extend through Christmas Eve.
If you have always dreamed of being “Santa” and want to see a gleam on the faces of children as they experience the magic of the season, a suit and orientation is available for you to fulfill this dream. It can make your day when a child looks at you and says, “Thank you Santa for my present, how did you know I wanted that?”
So fulfill a dream – be a volunteer Santa and bring excitement to children “of all ages.” To rent Santa for your party or be the “Jolly Old Elf,” call Barbara at 661-251-1352.
