The Zonta Club of Columbus Fall Nut Sale Fundraiser was officially launched on September 27 and ended on October 31. Thank you to all Zontians who participated in the fall nut sale by purchasing and selling nuts to family, friends & neighbors. This was a huge success and we met our 1/2 way goal for the year. Watch for details as we will repeat the sale in the late spring...just in time for summer entertaining
This year we are excited to be teaming up locally with Krema Nut Company. Krema is known for their outstanding quality of nuts as well as their superb service. We are so pleased to partner with them! www.krema.com
