Term: 1984 – 1986
I have happy memories about Zonta 1 members Dr. Suga Yuvienco, Mrs. Gloria Escaño, and Mrs. Amparo Rodil inviting me and other potential members, Mrs. Pet Misa, Mrs. Amy Enriquez among others to a Zonta luncheon meeting with the purpose of creating a new younger set of members to form Zonta Club II.

Although I have moved on to other endeavors and am no longer an active member of Zonta, I am happy to have been part of a club which continues to help women share their skills and talents in order to make this world a better place to live in.
