Peconic Bay Zonta held a successful yard sale in Wading River on October 4, 2025, raising $750. Gathered for a group photo after working the day are members (from left) Barbara Fontana, Diane Greenberg, Betsy Kaplan, Geri Kazenoff, Liala Strotman, Vivian Dadino, Loretta Ogden and Judy Black.
Funds raised will enable Peconic Bay to award two scholarships for women enrolled in an English as a Second Language (ESL) class at Suffolk Community College, Riverhead. All fundraising events support the organization’s mission of improving the lives of women and children both locally and internationally.
Our current projects include donating and volunteering for Blessings Across Long Island, which provides needed weekend food packages for over 500 children in the local area; and supporting The Butterfly Project, which empowers young girls to expand their horizons and attain their dreams.
On the global front, Peconic Bay Zonta contributes to the International Rescue Committee and Climate Resilience for All. We have also started a letter-writing venture with Amnesty International, advocating for female political prisoners.
Peconic Bay is affiliated with Zonta International, which seeks to empower and improve the lives of women and children through service and advocacy.
