Z Clubs:

Anchorage(3?)Z Clubs in District 8  were startedwhen G. Helen Brown, charter Anchorage member, started the first District 8 Z Club through the “back door” with Girl Scout volunteers who had worked alongside Zontians. This is because the school district would not sanction extra-curricular activities. Chartered in 1971, the club drew girls from all Anchorage high schools.  Meetings were held in homes – everywhere but school!  G. Helen served as D 8 Z Club Chair from 1967-86 and by 1978 had become ZI Z Club Chair. She literally wrote the manual for Z Club accepted at the Denver (ZI) Convention that  year for use in 47 countries and 7 languages. This manual allowed for co-ed membership and its revised version is still in use (2010). 1978 marked the year that 2 Anchorage clubs, Dimond & Service HS were chartered. Both clubs were still active in 2010. May 23, 1978, the second Z Club with 24 members at Service-Henshaw HS was chartered. (Celebrating 30+ Years of Z Clubs – District 8: Bonnie Ivy, D8 Z Club Chair 2006-2010) Dimond HS Z Club still active after 48 years. There was a Z Club at East HS about 25 years ago. Service HS and South HS do not have active Z Cubs now.  Anchorage Zonta Club has renewed dues for Dimond, Service High and South High Z Clubs. East High Z Club has not been active for at least 20 years. (Pat Jarrett – Anchorage Z Club liaison 2019)
