On 25 November, the club met for a press conference in Forsyth Park in Savannah and received a Commendation from the State of Georgia.  The presentation was done by State Representative Al Williams.  Following the press conference, members put up orange ribbons, that had ZONTA SAYS NO on the ribbon, on the large oak trees in the park.  The ribbons were up for 7 of the 16 Days of Activism (the maximum days for display).
