International Women's Day

Celebrate International Women’s Day with the Zonta Club of Kitchener-Waterloo and mark your calendar now for March  4, 2009!

The Fifth Annual IWD Event held at The Walper Hotel on March 5, 2008, was a resounding success.  Dr. Anne-Marie Zajdlik gave a very passionate and inspiring talk. This amazing woman is a family physician and a mom, who has become a local and international AIDS activist. She is the Founder and Director of the Masai Centre for Local, Regional and Global Health; the founder of the Masai for Africa Project and the Bracelet of Hope Project; and a member of the OHAfrica Expert Panel for the Sustainability of the Tsepong HIV/AIDS clinic in Lesotho, Africa. Inspired by Stephen Lewis and supported by her family and many others, she is determined to do what it takes to assist in the global response that is necessary to fight AIDS. Her passion, vision and will have inspired many to join forces with her, Masai and other organizations to bring hope and healing to those touched by AIDS.

We extend a special thanks to the restaurants who provided many and diverse samplings of food.  There was plenty for all!
