Types of Events
Social Events
Zonta Club of Caboolture organises social events to celebrate women and girls in our community and to provide an opportunity for us to connect and share our stories.
Fundraising Events
As an incorporated service club, we raise funds by various means including organising and promoting fundraising events in our local community.
Advocacy Events
We also run advocacy events to help raise awareness and advocate to build better lives for women and girls in Caboolture as well as in our national and international communities.
Social Events
International Women’s Day – A Celebration of Women
In March every year, Zonta Club of Caboolture hosts a social event to celebrate women in our community. International Women’s Day falls on 8 March. Each year Zonta Caboolture celebrates women in our community by holding a luncheon with 200 guests including representatives from local schools, charity organisations and Zonta Club of Caboolture.
A party like atmosphere is created by members to make the lunch a special social event. Tables are decorated, attendees receive a gift pack as they enter the room, and there are lots and lots of beautiful and abundant raffle prizes to win.
Donations are made by our club to local organisations to support the wonderful work they do in assisting women and children to recover from domestic violence and live better lives.
Guest speakers share their story, musicians play relaxing and inspiring music, and attendees enjoy connection with friends and strangers.
Breast Cushions Day
The wonderful Beachmere Bay Craft Group in Palm Lakes Resort, Beachmere, assist us by cutting out and sewing the cushions before we have a working bee to stuff the cushions, seal them and package them ready to be delivered to local hospitals. Women who have had breast cancer surgey are very grateful for the gift to help them recover from surgery.
Contact us if you know someone who is having breast surgery and would like a breast cushion to support their recovery or if you would like to join us to make breast cushions.
Birthing Kit Assembly Day
It costs $5 to buy the birthing kit. Once a year Zonta Club of Caboolture members and friends of Zonta gather to assemble the kits for shipping overseas. In 2023 we assembled 1600 birthing kits and welcomed the Bribie Pink Dragons who assisted on the day. Birthing Kit Assembly Day is always lots of fun for all who are involved.
Contact us if you would like to join us assembling birthing kits.
Fundraising Events
Every month, around the third week of the month (Saturday or Sunday), you will find Zonta Club of Caboolture working the Morayfield Bunnings BBQ. This monthly fundraising event is essential for providing regular income to assist us to undertake service projects that make a difference to the lives of women and girls in our local community. Zonta members and friends of Zonta are always welcome to volunteer at one of our monthly Bunnings BBQ fundraising events. It is a fun day cooking up sausages and serving them to local Bunnings shoppers.Contact us to volunteer to participate in a Zonta Caboolture Bunnings BBQ event.
During December, Zonta Club of Caboolture provides gift wrapping at the Morayfield Shopping Centre to local patrons. For a gold coin donation we will wrap a Christmas present with a bow. We run the gift wrapping service every day leading up to Christmas in December. It is a great way for our club to fundraise and another opportunity for friends of Zonta to volunteer their time to join us in gift wrapping. Contact us to volunteer your time for our next gift wrapping event.
Fashion Parade Morning Tea
Another fundraising event by Zonta Club of Caboolture is our annual Fashion Parade morning tea held in September. In 2023 it was a Rockin and Rollin Fashion Parade with fashions by online women’s clothing store, Between Us Girls. The Fashion Parade raises funds through raffle ticket sales and entry fees. We would like to thank every one for coming along and participating eagerly in the games and raffles, as well as some rock and roll dancing. Many people came dressed in 1960’s gear and indulged in beautiful savoury and sweet food made by the members of Zonta Caboolture. It was a very successful fundraising event.
Our next Fashion Parade is set for 5th September 2025. Stay tuned and save the date!
