Zonta Club awards scholarships
The Zonta Club of Burbank Area has awarded its annual scholarships
to Burbank high school students. This year's winners are Elizabeth
"Beth" Coleman, a graduate of Monterey High School, and Santosh
Desai of Providence High School. Beth aspires to becoming an English
teacher and Santosh, a cardiologist. Each received $800 toward their
college tuition.
The scholarship awards wrap up a busy year of Zonta service. Since
September, the Zonta club has donated toys to the Burbank Police
Department, worked with Burbank Unified School District on its annual
Spelling Bee, and supported literacy through the Burbank Library's
Barnes & Noble Christmas gift-wrap and Trivial Challenge events.
Grace Farenbaugh was installed as the club's new president on May
21. She is a senior loan officer with First Security Lending in
Burbank. Serving with her are Donna Anderson, first vice president;
Marilyn Mauzey, second vice president; Rose Pichay, treasurer; Sheila
Landsman, recording secretary; Anne Macleod, corresponding secretary;
and directors: Lee Bellis, Nickie Bonner, Amin Oria and Suzi
Trussell.
The Zonta club continues expanding its membership. Most recently,
Julie Woll, a systems analyst at Technicolor/CFI in North Hollywood,
joined the club. The club meets the third Wednesday of the month at
Genio's Restaurant. For membership information, call President Nickie
Bonner at (323) 993-5091.
Information about Zonta is now available on the club's new Web
site at www.zontaburbank.org.
