VOLUME 94 ISSUE 1 MAY – AUGUST 2012

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

RESIDENT’’S LETTER It is such an honor to serve as your club President for the 2012-2013 club year. I am looking forward to the great things we will accomplish in advancing the status of women through service and advocacy.

With the leadership of Jan Robinson, our service committee chose Mosaic and Our Friends Place as our service and funding agencies for this year. We will continue to raise awareness for The Family Place, Attitudes and Attire, and LeTot, with campaigns like canned goods for The Family Place, panty hose for Attitudes and Attire, and books for LeTot. None of this will be achieved without the help and support of each of you. I look forward to a strong presence from our club at District 10 conference in Longview – October 18-21. I’ve made my reservations. Have you? In the spring, Zonta Club of Dallas will host the Area 1 meeting. Mark may 4th on your calendar now. Mary Anne Redmond works hard to present worthwhile programs to educate and inspire us. Please remember that the first Friday of the month is Zonta day and please invite guests to our monthly meetings. Yours in Zonta!

2011-2012 WRAP Garage Sale: We held

our semi-annual club garage sale the first weekend in May.

Many members & their families volunteered by gathering,

delivering, organizing & pricing items in the weeks before

the sale & at the sale itself. The treasures sold came from

both former & current members raising just <$5000 which

will go toward scholarships for young women. It was hard

work, but great fun! Thanks to our members Kaleta Doolin

& Alan Govenar for the use of their historic firehouse once

again for our venue. YW in STEM Scholarships: We are

pleased to announce we have a new scholarship this year!

We will award the recipients of our first Zonta Club of

Dallas Young Women in Science, Technology, Engineering

& Math scholarships at a meeting in the near future. The

recipients are Tori Clift & Taylor Facen. One of Tori’s

Advanced Placement Statistics & Calculus teachers says

she is one of the most intelligent & best students that she

has ever taught. One of Taylor’s teachers said she has

known other students with talent equivalent to Taylor’s but

many of them lacked her good nature & humility, & few

demonstrated the genuine intellectual curiosity that she

has exhibited repeatedly. YWPA Scholarship: We

awarded our YWPA scholarship to Jacky Nicole

(Stephanie) Eyocko at our May meeting. Stephanie is a

senior at Lake Highlands High School & will be attending

the University of Oklahoma in the fall, working on her BA in

political science. Her future plans include attending Florida

A&M University for an international law degree & working

work with education systems. Stephanie came to the USA

from Cameroon as a child speaking only French. She told

us she had a difficult time in school due to the language

barrier. She was enrolled in "ESL" classes, but faced

challenges there as all the other students only spoke

Spanish. Today she speaks flawless English with no trace

of an accent. On May 10, 2012, acting as reps of the ZCD

Mary Anne Redmond & Kaleta Doolin met with five

business women from the Republic of Georgia at the World

Affairs Council of Dallas. The women were unfamiliar with

Zonta & became very interested in joining ZI.

Museum of Art. We will figure out when to do this field trip if the organization is chosen as

one of our club’s service projects. Garage Sale report – Terri Hornberger reported we made

<$5000. Final numbers will be announced when the final checks are received. Sue Hesseltine

calls to follow up on those that have not yet been received. Meeting adjourned @ 1:55pm.

JUNE 2012 WELCOME!

ZONTA CLUB OF DALLAS WELCOMES Chantal Howell Carey, transferred

from the DFW club which was disbanded in June by ZI due to low membership. Her Zonta life began in 2003 at the Zonta Club of Ft. Worth where she was a director on the board. Her first convention was NYC 2004 where she was appointed by the D10 Governor as the new D10 Bylaws & Resolutions Chairman. In March 2005 the D10 Governor asked Chantal to start a new club and June 2005 the Zonta Club of DFW was chartered with Chantal as the Charter President. In ZDFW’s 7 years of existence they contributed in excess of $1million in goods, services, like kind, and funds for their service projects aligned under the biennial goals of ZI. Chantal has been on the D10 ballot 4 times to date, 2 for Area 1 Director and 2 for Lt. Governor.

Chantal newly serves on the Fannin County Habitat for Humanity Board and with the Fannin County Family Crisis Center.

Chantal is CEO/Chairman of www.Chalcyond.com and President/CFO of www.TheAngelEyesCompanies.com. Please visit the websites regularly to discover her growing and diverse business involvements.

TLC WORKSHOPS! For July Barbara Gibbons reports: We made chicken pasta salad with

rotisserie chicken, bow-tie pasta, and summer vegetables. I had a recipe to make vinaigrette from Chef

Tom Colicchio on thinking outside the vinaigrette box (LA Times, July 7, 2012). We talked about different

combinations of vinegars, oils, mustards, and herbs to create different flavors for a vinaigrette. And by

making multiple servings, one could get one or two lunches as well as dinner from the effort. I took Zip-

lock contains so that all who wanted had a portion to take back to their refrigerator. On August 9,

Christi Brown, Certified Physical Fitness Specialist from Cooper Institute, offered advice and hands on

training to Joyce Bruce- Starling and the young women in OFP Transitional Living Center. Using fitness

equipment donated by Barby Crabtree, Christi walked the girls through a series of exercises using the

stability ball, elastic bands, an ab wheel and glide discs. She also gave them handouts that described

each exercise and a recommended program. There was plenty of laughter (and complaining) as each

young woman was put through the circuit.

61st Zonta

International

Convention

Torino, Italy

7-12 July

2012

AUGUST - Greetings, Zontians! Welcome to the kick off of our 2012-2013 year.

Our speaker was Bill Bernstein, from Mosaic. Mosaic is one of the organizations we voted on funding and/or providing service hours to this year!

by Lileen Coulloudon Mosaic was founded by a refugee from Vietnam when he came here and learned refugees

were offered few services. Refugees are brought here, given a little money and helped to

find a job, but then they were left on their own. For example, there was a need for

healthcare services, help for victims of domestic violence and legal aid. The founder

decided to write a grant to get funding from the state government to meet these needs.

Mosaic now provides transportation to and from healthcare agencies. Refugees who are

victims of domestic violence often do not leave these dangerous situations, so in 1997 the

Multicultural Family Violence program started and now serves hundreds of clients every

year. In 2001, they acquired an apartment complex that serves as a shelter. The legal

services program employs 4 full time staff, paralegals and volunteers from SMU and other

universities.

As our club has learned over the last couple of years, human trafficking takes place in

average neighborhoods here in the Dallas area as well as in other areas around the

country. Mosaic’s first exposure to human trafficking came about due to a raid of a factory

in another part of the country where persons had been forced to work and live in poor

conditions and were not allowed to leave. Victims were sent to several places, including

Dallas, and that is how Mosaic started helping trafficking victims. They have helped over

300 victims of human trafficking in the 10 or 11 years they have been doing so. Mosaic also

works from time to time with the FBI on trafficking cases where their services are needed.

Although children are not the focus of their efforts, Mosaic sometimes will end up

providing aid to them when they are the involved in trafficking cases.

Bill Bernstein, the director of Mosaic, has been asked by the State Department to attend a meeting in Brussels about human trafficking. Thank you, Bill for your time and the valuable information you have provided. Our club looks forward to working with Mosaic.

ADVOCACY COMMITTEE Lisa has graciously volunteered to serve as our “Advocacy Chair.” Please make her aware of any events or news worthy items she should share with our club and with District. This is an area Governor Dodgen wants to focus on during

her biennium 2012 - 2014

SERVICE COMMITTEE By Chairman Jan Robinson There was a Service meeting Wednesday August 22nd at 6pm. The purpose was to discuss the recommendation of the distribution of funds to our selected agencies at our October meeting. The recommendation will be presented to the club membership at the September meeting. The meeting was at the Corner Bakery on the southeast corner of Preston and Forest. Our October meeting is our annual Service meeting where we distribute the funds raised from the previous club year. We also honor our own by presenting an award to two people in the club who have gone above and beyond. One goes to someone who has been in the club less than 3 years and and second to someone who has been in longer than 3 years.

Great news! The U.S. Senate passed the

International Protecting Girls by Preventing Child

Marriage Act last month. This is an important step in

upholding the rights of adolescent girls around the world

and a critical step in preventing the harmful practice of

child marriage, which often has devastating consequences

for girls, their families and their communities. The

legislation passed in part due to your efforts. Thank you for

being a member of the CARE Action Network, and for

lending your voice to the tens of thousands of girls who

are forced into marriage each year. We also thank Sen.

Richard Durbin (D-IL) and Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) for

their tireless leadership on this issue. The legislation

passed unanimously, which means all 100 senators

supported passage of the bill.

Sincerely, The CARE Action Network

Delhi Charter School: Stop Discriminating

Against Pregnant Students!

Started by: Natasha, Newton, Massachusetts

As a former teen mom, I know how hard it is to stay in school and graduate

on time when you're pregnant or taking care of a new baby. So I was

shocked to learn that the Delhi Charter School in Delhi, Louisiana is

shaming and suspending pregnant students -- and imposing

mandatory pregnancy tests on students who "might" be pregnant.

Students at Delhi Charter School -- which is publicly funded -- who are

suspected of being pregnant are forced to take mandatory pregnancy tests.

If they refuse, they're told to stay home or transfer. And if they test positive,

they're told to stay home or transfer. This discrimination is illegal. But the

administration at Delhi Charter School seems to be more interested in

making sure pregnant girls can't get an education than in obeying federal

law. That's why I started this petition to tell the Delhi Charter School

administration to stop forcing girls to take pregnancy tests and to stop

shaming and suspending pregnant students and students who refuse

to take the tests. Does this kind of shaming stop teen pregnancies and

build stronger, better educated communities? No. I know because I was a

teen mom at 17, and now I work with teen moms every day as the Teen

Parent Ambassador Coordinator for Brigham Women's Hospital in Boston.

7 years ago, I told teachers and administrators at my high school I was

pregnant, thinking they'd want to help me graduate and build a future for

myself and my child. Instead, they made me feel ashamed and

unwelcome, and made it almost impossible for me to attend classes,

jeopardizing my education and my future. I was lucky enough to be able to

transfer and, today, I work with other teen moms to support them in

graduating on time and growing into successful adults. But the wonderful

young women I work with have to overcome huge obstacles -- 30% of all

teen girls who drop out of high school leave because of pregnancy,

and 70% of teen girls who give birth end up leaving school. Advocacy

groups and legal experts have already told Delhi Charter School their policy

of mandatory pregnancy tests and suspending pregnant students breaks

several federal laws because it discriminates against female students -

- it also violates the Constitution. The Delhi Charter School says it

"may rethink" the policy, but in the meantime, they can still shame

pregnant students. Tell the school to immediately eliminate mandatory

pregnancy tests and commit to giving pregnant students the same the

same education, in the same place and at the same time, as all other

students.

Please be sure to mark your calendars for the September 7th meeting when Jim Faulk, President and CEO of the World Affairs Council, will be our speaker. Please RSVP to Lileen by the Wednesday before at 11:00am. Buffet cost members and guests $20 Where: Park Cities Club Time: 11:30am -1pm Dress: No denim. You are always welcome to attend and not eat lunch. Just let us know in your RSVP if you will not be eating.

Kaleta reports a New Member coming in soon: Sara Graubard – Lisa’s daughter – will be brought into the club before taking off to Italy for work! Viva Italia Sara!

As many of you know the Dallas Junior Police Academy is one of my big charity projects. For students in the 4

th – 7

th grade,

this is a day in the life of a Dallas police officer, with emphasis put on honesty, integrity, how to stay away from gangs and drugs, and generally how to be a good person. It is a full day (November 3) held at the actual Dallas Police Academy on Red Bird Center Drive. We serve lunch and snacks (there is a $5 fee, but scholarships are available). The day is interactive, so the kids are put through the obstacle course, they go on a simulated police chase, they participate in simulated 911 calls, etc.

Applications are now being accepted for the Nov. 3 class. The application is posted on www.dallaspolice.net. There are only 60 slots, so the application process is first come, first serve. If you know of anyone who would be interested in the class, please forward the info along. We usually have terrific response to the classes and we usually fill up within 2 weeks of the applications being posted, so time is of the essence.

Thanks for your time, Terri. Terri Moss Hornberger CPA

Funny story: The last time Dallas hosted the

Area 1 Meeting they invited the new DFW club

to co-host. DFW accepted co-hosting and as the

Charter President, Chantal was on the

committee. Chantal is again now on the Area 1

Meeting Committee with Dallas but this time as

destined from the beginning!

In order to be a true leader, you must do the things that leaders do ... and you must do them well. Here are some of the leadership

behaviors you need to adopt:

Accept that your results now come through others. As a leader, your primary job is not to do the work, but rather to direct,

encourage, support, and develop the people who do. Their successes are your successes … and their failures are yours as well.

You’ll no longer be judged merely by what you accomplish individually. Your satisfaction must come from – and your reputation

must be built on – what your people achieve. You shine when THEY are the ones in the spotlight.

Be a leader – not a “boss” or a “pal.” Your people don’t want to be bossed and they undoubtedly have more than enough

friends. If you’re looking to get the most and best from your group, don’t be a dictator or a chum – be a LEADER who motivates,

inspires, and models top-notch performance and conduct.

Let them know how they’re doing. Providing specific, detailed feedback needs to be an ongoing process rather than a once-a-

year event. The more employees know how they stack up against your expectations, the easier it is for them to keep their

performance on track.

Do right by those who do right. When team members do what you want them to do – when they meet your expectations or go

above and beyond the call of duty – there ought to be something in it for them. Of all the activities you engage in as a leader,

“catching people doing things right” – and recognizing them for it – needs to be one of your top priorities.

Explain “why’s” as well as “what’s.” It’s VERY important for your people to know why things need to be done. It helps them feel

like valued members of the organization. And when the why’s make good sense (which they usually do), it increases employee

commitment and dedication to the tasks at hand.

Deal with performance problems early. Make and take the time to deal with performance discrepancies as soon as you become

aware of them. Work through any fear, anxiety, or discomfort you may have. The earlier you address issues, the easier and less

emotional they will be to handle for everyone involved.

Set the example and the tone. Regardless of what appears on job descriptions or in employee handbooks, your behavior is the

real performance standard that team members will follow. They’ll rightfully assume it’s okay and appropriate to do whatever you

do. Why wouldn’t they? So it’s critical that you set the proper example and desired tone … that you model the performance and

behavior you expect from others.

Keep your commitments. Don’t make promises lightly … don’t make ones you can’t (or don’t intend to) keep … don’t BS the

people who ultimately will determine your success. And when you do make commitments, write them down, check them frequently,

and do whatever it takes to make good on them.

Embrace diversity. Work on maximizing your respect for diversity and insist that each member of your teams does the same.

Appreciate individuals who are “different” – especially those of other races, cultures, creeds, and national origins. Fact is, it’s the

legal thing to do … it’s the moral thing to do … it’s the smart thing to do.

Lead Well ... Lead Right…

Honoring Women's Equality Day 2012 Let's correct the record! All too often our history books, media, and even pundits with the best of intentions say, "Women were given the vote in 1920." There is a big difference between being "given" a prize and winning it. Nobody "gave" women their civil and political rights. Suffragists won them after a bold, unrelenting, 72-year long political campaign. They waged over 54 state electoral campaigns, including New York in 1917 (read about NY's battle on our blog, http://www.nwhp.org/blog/), lobbied Congress for decades, and convinced 36 state legislatures to finally ratify the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Nothing was given. So let's honor this great civil rights movement as the key part of American history that it is. Women won the vote and expanded democracy to half of our nation's citizens! August 26th is the 92nd Anniversary of this historic event. Let's make sure that the media tells the real story: Women Won the Vote! It's truly something to celebrate. Advocacy Actions: To commemorate this day that our foremothers finally achieved our right to vote, we, as members of Zonta D10, have an opportunity to advocate for a yet-to-be achieved goal--passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. Equal Rights Amendment Update: A joint resolution to remove the deadline for the states' ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment has been sent to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary as of March 22, 2012. No additional action has been taken. Currently, fifteen senators co-sponsor this bill. The only senator from D10 who co-sponsors is Mary Landrieu from Louisianna. She should be thanked. Zontians from D10 are asked to contact their senators and encourage them to co-sponsor. Having additional co-sponsors increases the likelihood that the resolution will eventually pass. Of note is that John Cornyn from Texas and Thomas Coburn from Oklahoma both sit on this committee. To email your senators go to www.senate.gov. From there, you may select your state senators and send an email. Please, ask for them to co-sponsor this bill that removes any deadline for ratification of the ERA. Removal of this deadline would make it more likely that we will be able to secure the ratification by the needed three states. Often, the argument has been that the ERA is a dead issue; passage of this resolution would invalidate that argument. The voices of approximately 600 Zontians could make a difference!

Sheryl Flanagin, D10 Advocacy Chairman

Subject: Zonta Advocacy Opportunity

for Human Trafficking

I wanted to let you know about an advocacy opportunity

through a virtual lobby day on September 4th. The virtual

lobby day is promoted by Women of Vision (an ALLIEs

group).

TVPRA - The Trafficking Victims Protection Re-

authorization Act, enacted in 2000, expired Sept. 30,

2011. The Senate bill, S.1301, now has 46 co-sponsors.

The goal is to reach 60 co-sponsors and get S.1301 to

the floor for a vote and passed before September 30,

2012. The bill is designed to impose stricter

punishments on traffickers. The bill has been co-

sponsored by Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. It was

previously sponsored by Senator John Cornyn;

however he is not currently sponsoring the bill.

To take action contact Senator John Cornyn and

encourage him to sponsor TVPRA (S.1301). You can

contact him in Austin (512) 469-6034; in DC (202)

224-2934; or online at

Sample script: Hello, my name is ____________ and I

am calling from ___________ (your zip code). I would

like to ask Senator Cornyn to co-sponsor the TVPRA

(S.1301). Do you know the Senator's position on

human trafficking?

I would like someone from your office to follow up

with me with the Senator's response. I can be reached

at _________________ or via e-mail at

Zonta Club of Austin, President

Thank you to all the members and

volunteers who helped to make the 2012 Zonta International

Convention a resounding success! There were more than 2,300

attendees, and we raised more than US$120,000 at the Foundation

Booth during Convention. It was a fitting end to a successful

biennium, one in which we raised a record US$4.95 million to

support our international projects and programs, funded through the

Zonta International Foundation. I would also like to thank Past

International President Dianne Curtis and the 2012-2014 Board for

providing this board with the solid platform from which we can

grow.

If you were not able to join us at Convention or missed the Closing

Banquet, you can see the video that I showed that evening. The

video has been translated into French, German, Italian, Japanese and

Spanish and is intended to give you an idea of where Zonta's focus

will be throughout the next two years. You can also see photos

from Convention on the Zonta International website or on our

Facebook page.

I look forward to working with you all throughout the next two

years to achieve our mission to advance the status of women

worldwide through service and advocacy.

Warm regards,

Lynn McKenzie, Zonta International & Foundation President

The 2012-2014 Biennial Goals were voted on and

approved at the 2012 Zonta International Convention in Torino,

Italy. These goals will guide our actions and activities

throughout the next two years. As part of the Biennial Goals, the

members approved the Zonta International Foundation

fundraising goals for the next two years and the projects that

will be supported as a result. Zonta International President

Lynn McKenzie is currently in New York negotiating the final

details of our memoranda of understanding with the UN

agencies. Descriptions of each of the International Service and

ZISVAW projects can be found on the Zonta International

website

ZONTA CLUB OF DALLAS 2012-2013 FUNDRAISING

DONATIONS AND VOLUNTEER SERVICES WILL BENEFIT:

Mosaic & Our Friends Place

As our service and funding agencies!

We will continue to raise awareness for these agencies > with campaigns like: The Family Place > canned goods Attitudes and Attire > panty hose LeTot > books

We have a lot of great things planned for this year in NSBE, so be ready! :) First off, we will be

participating in a Heart Walk on Saturday September the 8th. This will be a fun way to assist companies in getting money for the

American Heart Association. We were invited by Oncor, so this is also a great opportunity to network and speak to people who could

possibly fund us in the future. We're hoping to get a headcount of all the people attending by Sunday because Oncor is going to be

supplying us with shirts. That being said, make sure to include your T-Shirt size along with your RSVP. I am sharing with you the

tentative schedule. This could have a few minor adjustments. Heart Walk - Saturday, September 8, 2012 7:00 a.m. - 7:45 a.m. Fruit, granola bars and drinks available at Oncor’s Headquarters 8:00 a.m. Oncor Team will meet at the Oncor Tent in Victory Park 8:15 a.m. Oncor Team picture 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. Heart Walk (handled by American Heart Association) 10:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. Oncor Team returns to Oncor Headquarters for post-walk celebration 10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Celebration and lunch

Parking details are still being developed. The more people we have, the more money we can raise for this great cause, so if you can

make it, please do! We're also trying to look great to all the companies that are attending, so the more the merrier! This will be held

downtown. Please RSVP as soon as possible!

The second order of business is our recruiting. We're hoping to have as many members as possible wear their NSBE t-shirts on the

first few days of school and assist the freshman to find classes. We can supply extra NSBE flyers to anyone who would like to help us

out in our freshman program. Another part of this is that we would like to help guide them through their year of school. We will be

offering tutoring and assistance to freshman in the future, so look out for this too. This is a fantastic way to help out the community as

well as get new recruits for our chapter. Remember, we are the light, so help us help the community in both of these two plans! If we

all work together we can really make a difference
