On Saturday, October 5, the first inaugural Joliet Philanthropy Brunch and Awards event was held at the Renaissance Center in downtown Joliet. Hosted by Arkas Restaurant Group and sponsored by First Secure Bank, thirteen Joliet philanthropic organizations were honored for their dedication to serving the Joliet community.
The Zonta Club of the Joliet Area selected Zonta member Dr. Patricia L. Miller, to receive the philanthropy award for 2024. Dr. Miller is one of two founding members of the Zonta Club of the Joliet Area who is still active with the club, which she helped found in 1973. The ZCJA celebrated its 50th anniversary in October of 2023.
"Her unwavering and absolute commitment to the mission of Zonta, for over 50 years now, to build a better world for women and girls, shines through everything she does. We are grateful for her passion for service, which has helped our club grow in both membership and community awareness."
