The Zonta club of Kiama-Shellharbour service projects focus on supporting breast cancer survivors, promoting education for girls and women, and raising awareness about domestic violence.

They will be holding a remembrance ceremony for victims of domestic violence in NSW on November 25th in Coronation park. The solemn event will pay tribute to the women, men, and children whose lives were cut short by violence. They invite attendees to bring a flower to lay next to shoes, each pair representing a life lost too soon.
