The Zonta Club of Lafayette, USA, spread awareness of the Zonta Says NO and 16 Days of Activism campaigns by creating yard and window signs and decorating a Christmas tree at a public park.

Yard and Window signs

The club posted orange Zonta Says NO yard and window signs at homes and businesses. They also discussed and shared their Zonta Says NO advocacy goals and literature with many of their Zonta friends, who displayed the signs at their homes and offices in Lafayette, LA, surrounding cities and states to support the Zonta Says NO to Violence against Women and 16 Days of Advocacy campaigns!

Club members took pictures for each of the 16 Days to post on the club’s Facebook page. Many Zontians and Friends read and shared our posts to spread awareness. 

Christmas tree

On 25 November, the club decorated a Zonta Says NO Christmas tree at the public Parc International Park in Lafayette. They sent an email with a picture of their tree, asking Zontians and friends to vote for it as the best.

This project helped the club bring awareness to Zonta and their projects. At their monthly meeting on 4 December, they discussed Zonta Says NO information and took a group picture holding their window signs.

On the 16th Day of Advocacy, the club posted a composite of all their displayed yard and window sign locations on their Facebook page.
