The 24 members of the Washington County club are a local chapter of Zonta International, a worldwide service organization focused on making a difference in the lives of women. "Often times, trauma patients need clothes to go home in and we love to have something to comfort small children when they're scared, said Emergency Department Director Kelly Macheska, adding, "We are very grateful to the Zontas."
