Fellowship Event: Steel Magnolias showing
2023-05-11 19:00 - 21:00 | Crooked Tree Arts Center Theater, 461 E Mitchell, Petoskey, MI, 49770, United States
Join us for a Zonta night out on Thursday, May 11 at 7 PM for an evening showing of Little Traverse Civic Theater’s “Steel Magnolias” at Crooked Tree Arts Center. Tickets are $20 https://www.ltct.org/season-events – Let Sherry know if you can join us so we can get seats close to each other 🙂
The action is set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, (“I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years”); an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a “good ole boy.” Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which gives the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny, and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.

AUGUST PROGRAM MEETING

On Thursday, August 3, Zonta Club of Petoskey welcomes Meagan Krzywosinski, founder of Inspiring Inner Growth LLC, BraVe Speaks. Meagan is a practicing Human Resource Professional with a love for inspiring humans, on and off the yoga mat. Our meeting will be in the Westminster Room at First Presbyterian Church of Petoskey.
Meagan began cultivating and nourishing her dream and with a whole lot of braVe she eventually landed on three powerful words, Inspiring Inner Growth. Her mission is to inspire inner growth and empower humans to engage their ‘braVe.’ Her perspective is that self-awareness and authentic human connections, with a splash of braVe, are foundational in living a life of sustainability-one of thriving and not just surviving at home, work and school.
Everything is interconnected!
The ‘human’ is Meagan’s North Star of Inspiring Inner Growth; growth that she hopes creates a ripple of bravery inspiring humans to define and live into their ‘values,’ ultimately creating space for people to live their very best life!
Meagan is a SHRM Certified Professional, 200hr Certified Yoga Teacher, Master Certified Life Coach, Social + Emotional Intelligence Certified Coach, and Inspirational Speaker. She practices Human Resources by day and is a Yogi by life.
“Living braVe means showing up for yourself; your values, your very best life.” -Meagan

SEPTEMBER PROGRAM MEETING
On Thursday, September 7, Zonta Club of Petoskey welcomes Tammy Jo Remsberg. Tammy Jo is a 62 year old woman defying age stereotypes and embracing life with vigor. “As a mother of three and a cherished grandmother of two, I have been blessed. But it has been a struggle…
My path has been marked by challenges, being diagnosed with lupus and several other autoimmune conditions, I had to dig deep to not let these health battles define me. Instead, I focused on harnessing my inner strength to offer hope for others facing similar struggles.
For the past eight years, I have found my passion in powerlifting. With unparalleled dedication and hard work, I’ve earned multiple state and national titles, proving that age and health obstacles are no match for an indomitable spirit. This journey into powerlifting mirrors my approach to life – facing challenges head-on, breaking barriers, and emerging victorious.
My hope in sharing my story and insights on resilience, empowerment, and the unbreakable human spirit. I pray it serves as a reminder that adversity can be transformed into strength and that every setback can be a stepping stone toward greatness.”
Please join us at this powerful program at noon on September 7.
