The Jane M. Klausman
Women in Business Scholarships are awarded to women

have demonstrated outstanding potential in the field.
The ZI Foundation established the Jane M. Klausman Women
in Business Scholarships in 1997 for women pursuing
an undergraduate degree in business leading to a business
management career. The program was established from
a bequest by Jane M. Klausman, a member of the Zonta
Club of Syracuse, NY and the 1990-1995 ZI Parliamentarian.
To qualify an applicant must have completed two-three
years in an accredited undergraduate program; demonstrate
outstanding academic credentials; clearly identify the
relevance of the applicant's academic program to the
business field; and specifically outline the applicant's
professional and career goals as they relate to advancing
women in the field of business. A local award of $400 is available to one local winner. Local winners compete for a District cash award of $350. District winners compete with other district winners for a $5,000 cash award from Zonta International. Contact us at: www.zontacv.org or Zonta Scholarships, P.O. Box 4832, Thousand Oaks, CA. 91359 |

Rae
Ross Ccommunity Service Award |
| |
There are those people
who open their hearts to others…Who never think twice
about giving of themselves. They are the wonderful,
warm-hearted people who make all the difference!
Let me tell you a Little bit about the person in whose
honor and memory we have named the Rae Ross Award. Rae
Ross will always be remembered with a smile! She was
a tireless volunteer in all facets of her life. One
of her favorites was the Manna food Bank where she was
a weekly volunteer for many years. In her career as
a Realtor, she volunteered as a member of the Association
of Realtors board and was named their Realtor of the
Year in 1990. She was a mentor to many entering the
Real Estate profession and to women in business.
Rae joined our Zonta Club of the Conejo Valley Area
in 1980 and it soon became evident that she was a worker!
She served on m any committees, on the Board, and was
our Club President for two terms- from 1984-1986.
Special Kid's Day was a particular love of Rae's. It
was she who convinced Zonta on the idea that our club
would be the permanent sponsor and organizers for this
wonderful Conejo Valley Days Activity that pairs handicapped
children with volunteers from the community for a morning
of carnival, rides, games and lunch for all. Of course,
Rae took the leadership role and was our chair for the
event, coordinating this monumental event for 2 years!.
Then she moved up to the Conejo Valley Days Steering
committee to chair the Sponsorship Committee. To nominate someone in the Conejo Valley Area for the Rae Ross Award, contact us at: Zonta Club of the Conejo Valley Area, P.O. Box 4832, Thousand Oaks, CA. 91359. |
