The members of the Zonta Club of Oak Park will be holding a multi-household garage sale on Saturday, June 16. The location will be 171 N. Elmwood Avenue in Oak Park, right in the heart of Farmers' Market territory. The sale hours are 7:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. Offerings will include toys, Christmas decorations, books, household items too numerous to mention and jewelry, including over 200 pairs of earrings. Proceeds will be used to allocate funds to local and international service projects benefitting the status of women. Further information will be posted in community newspapers and web pages. Please stop by on your way to or from the Farmer's Market.
In December, 2002, Zonta Club of Oak Park received an early Christmas gift from the Internal Revenue Service. We finally received approval of our application to become a tax-exempt charitable foundation and the new "Zonta Oak Park Foundation, Inc." is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit. From now on, contributions made for our service fund-raisers, as long as they are payable to Zonta Oak Park Foundation, are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. It took several years, rewrites and resubmissions but we are now official! Many thanks go to those who were responsible for this success, especially Donna Joss.
