Zonta looks back on ‘Peek Repurposed’ By ZONTA CLUB - | Apr 7, 2021 PHOTO PROVIDED Zontians Luanne Fortune, Marianne Ravenna, Nancy Dreher, Pam Eccles and Joanne Marriott at The Community House on Sanibel, where auction winners were able to pick up their items. The Zonta Club of Sanibel-Captiva has received positive comments like “It was way more fun than I expected” and “Island artists really stepped up for Zonta” about its recent fundraiser. The club reported that it is looking back at the “Peek at the Unique 2021 Repurposed” with satisfaction and gratitude. It created a more virtual format for the event that still offered unique elements, but was far from the traditional guided tour of island homes that has been the club’s signature March contribution for nearly 20 years. Instead of loading “Peekers” on to buses, it set up an online auction and invited local artists to donate works. Over 30 artists and two galleries, the Tower Gallery ....
Zonta continues to take appraisal appointments By ZONTA CLUB - | Mar 9, 2021 PHOTO PROVIDED The Zonta Club of Sanibel-Captiva is still booking appraiser appointments for March 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. as part of “Peek at the Unique Repurposed,” its re-imagined annual fundraiser for 2021. For a $100 tax-deductible donation, people can receive a 15-minute session with a gem-jewelry expert or an antiques appraiser with “Antiques Roadshow” experience for up to three items. The items will be informally assessed at the Blue Giraffe in Beachview Estates; COVID-19 protections will be observed. “Retiring and moving to Sanibel, many of us downsized from larger homes and brought favorite items to new homes here,” event co-chairs and Zontians Barbara Beran and Halle Smith said. “Our idea is to bring them for evaluation, then you can display them prominently because they turn out to be valuable or finally discard them, having hung on to them for too long.” ....

The Zonta Club of Sanibel-Captiva invites the public to help it empower women by taking part in “Peek at the Unique Repurposed,” a one-time event for 2021 that replaces the club’s traditional three-hour tour of island homes. Working within COVID-19 guidelines, the club has designed this year’s fundraiser to feature a virtual auction of re-imagined furniture and décor, plus new art donated by local artists, along with the opportunity to have one’s valuables informally appraised by local experts. Proceeds will be awarded in grants to organizations whose mission of empowerment mirrors Zonta’s own.
