Nomination forms are available for nonprofit organizations to nominate their outstanding women volunteers who will be honored at the annual Zonta Club of SCV’s 38th Women in Service luncheon Saturday, March 25, at 10 a.m., at the Canyon Country Community Center, located at 18140 Sierra Highway.

Completed nominations are due by Monday, Feb. 10. All nominees will be luncheon guests of Zonta and recognized for “Their Work for a Cause, Not Applause” – to include recognition of their nominating organizations. The Carmen Sarro outstanding winner award will be the grand finale!

This will be the 38th year that Zonta has honored an outstanding volunteer with a community service award. The Women in Service Celebration allows community organizations to recognize women throughout the Santa Clarita Valley who – through their leadership – have made a difference in the community, especially to improve the lives of women. Each participating organization nominates a member, who will be honored by Zonta for her contributions. From all of the nominations, one person will be selected for the Carmen Sarro Award.

Further information and additional nomination forms are available online at www.scvzonta.org/Events/ or email womeninservice@scvzonta.org.
