The Zonta Club of the MOV would like to thank the community for their continued support of our gently used bi-annual clothing sale, the Unique Boutique. This is our largest fundraiser, and all proceeds benefit our service projects, including our scholarships to Washington State College of Ohio. These scholarships benefit non-traditional female college students. We also work to raise awareness for the need of feminine hygiene products, undies, bras and deodorant in the area with our Delicates for Dignity project. The Zonta Club of the MOV also awards the Betty Hadler Woman of the Year Award at the annual Mid-Ohio Valley Chamber of Commerce luncheon. This award is based on exceptional volunteerism from a woman in Wood or Washington County.

Thanks to all of our loyal individual supporters who continue to give donations to our sale each year. We truly could not have this event without the support of the community donations. This year once again was a wonderful outpouring of clothing for our sale. We are truly amazed and grateful to those who think of us when donating clothing. We would like to thank these supporters: WMOA Radio, WTAP News, Marietta Times, Marietta Township Community Center and their trustees, McCarthy Real Estate, Advantage Real Estate and all of our outside volunteers who helped haul our equipment and supplies and helped hang and sort clothes all week. All of the remaining clothing was donated to Coats for Kids, Latrobe Street Mission, Soles for Souls project, Waverly United Methodist Church, and Church of Christ African Mission Project. Also, gift certificates were given to area agencies for those most in need. The success of this event would not be possible without the continued support of all our Zonta members, their families and friends. Our next sale will be October 31-November 1. Clothing donations will be accepted Oct.27-30 at the Marietta Township Community Center. Look for announcements and updates on our Facebook about donation drop-off times. We hope to see you there.
