‘Dancing queens’ get your tickets and support Zontians ‘Mithuru Piyasa’ project
View(s):
A hundred years ago Marion de Forest had a dream. The American playwright and journalist from Buffalo, New York believed that women all over the world needed a voice, champions to protect their rights, their freedoms. And she attracted a group of like-minded women with whose help the Zonta International movement was born.
Today there are some 30,000 Zonta women in 63 countries around the world, with some 200 of them in five Zonta Clubs in Sri Lanka. On October 23, the Zonta Club 11 of Colombo have put together a ‘Mamma Mia Theme Party’ as a fundraiser for their most significant project — the ‘Mithuru Piyasa’ Counselling Centres. There are five such centres, sensitively designed and much supported by Zonta Club 11 where professional counsellors work devotedly with needy, often distressed families providing support, most significantly for the woman in the home.
The Mamma Mia theme party at Elevate, Access Towers 2 will feature the awesome music of Abba from the well-loved musical Mamma Mia. There will be dancing, great food, themed cocktails and intriguing surprises. The Zontians hope for enthusiastic support from fun loving ladies and their men friends.
So Colombo’s ‘Dancing Queens’ and their ‘Super Trouper’ guys might want to grab their tickets and be there. Secure in the knowledge that while they are having an unusually good time, they are supporting the ‘Mithuru Piyasa’ Counselling Centres
