Area 07 - First area meeting in the new biennium

First Area Meeting of Area 07/27 in new biennium

Last weekend, almost 25 Zontians from Area 07 met in Hanover for their first Area Meeting of this biennium.

After a relaxed warm-up dinner on Friday evening, we came together in a special location. Area Director Angela Ettl welcomed us in the art gallery „Kunstladen“ in the heart of the city. The day was filled with vibrant discussions on various topics, such as the futureorganizational structure of Zonta, and activities in our District 27 as well as ZI Germany. Oneof our youngest Zontians, Pauline Niederhausen, gave an update on the activities of the working group „Standing up for Democracy“, being member of it herself. Another topic sheis deeply engaged is how Zonta could gain new members – one of the most important objectives of the whole Zonta organization.

Hard work requires recovery outside afterwards. With perfect autumn weather, we enjoyed a guided walking tour through the lovely urban quarter List, ending at the Bahlsen biscuitcompany Hanover is famous for.

Our Area Meeting ended on Sunday morning in the Sprengel museum, Hanover’s famous artcollection, where we were introduced to selected works of female artists, from Paula Modersohn-Becker to Niki de Saint Phalle.

It was a wonderful and fruitful weekend for all of us. A huge thank to AD Angela, her board team, and the fantastic orga team from Zonta Club Hannover which made this weekend a unique Zonta experience. We’re looking forward to the next two years, working together to build a better world for women and girls.
