Photo submitted to Times Observer The Zonta Club of Warren held their annual Holiday dinner at the Conewango Club. Members brought gifts for mothers which were distributed to the Salvation Army in Warren. The Salvation Army is just one of the many local groups that Zonta supports. In October, Zonta partnered with the Salvation Army for the Bundle Up Program at Walmart. Families were given the opportunity to choose outerwear for the winter season and Zonta members assisted them with the shopping. These Christmas gifts were taken to the Salvation Army for children to give to their mothers. Each year Zonta Club of Warren supports the Salvation Army through these efforts and with a monetary donation.
