Get to know Amelia Earhart on Tuesday, Jan. 6, at the St. Charles Township offices at 1725 Dean St. in St. Charles. The Zonta Club of St. Charles-Geneva-Batavia proudly presents "Amelia Earhart," a first-person portrayal by Leslie Goddard.
Amelia was an adventurer, a celebrity and a Zontian. Each January, Zontians around the world celebrate her life, tenacity, accomplishments and legacy. The club invites you to join them to learn more about this historical female figure.
The Zonta Club is a volunteer service organization working to empower women and families locally and globally.
