Below is a photo of the Detroit
1 quilt square
that is a part of the District 15
Zonta Quilt that was presented to the Zonta International
Immediate President Val Sarah, at the 2000 Hawaii Convention.
The Model-A Ford depicted in the quilt square was manufactured in Detroit, Michigan in 1919,
the year Zonta International was established. The quilt square was
designed by Detroit 1 Zontian and former Area 3 Director, Stephanie
Thompson and created by former Detroit 1 Zontian, Sherilynn Kruger. The entire
quilt composed of squares created by the various clubs of Zonta
International, District 15 is on display
at Zonta International Headquarters in Chicago, Illinois.
Our meetings are held on the first Thursday of each
month, except July and August, at the Detroit Yacht Club. For information about attending any of our events
