Zonta to honor outstanding women volunteers at May 14 event

Women in Service, an annual event honoring outstanding women volunteers throughout the Santa Clarita Valley, hosted by the Zonta Club of Santa Clarita Valley, is scheduled May 14 at The Centre in Santa Clarita.

Registration begins at 10 a.m. followed by lunch and the program at 11 a.m.

“This luncheon honors dynamic volunteers nominated by local nonprofit organizations that share our mission — the advancement of women and girls,” said a news release from Zonta.

All nominees will be guests of Zonta at the luncheon and will be recognized along with their organization.

To date, 16 nonprofit organizations have selected one of their volunteers who have gone above and beyond.

“These outstanding women contribute their time and expertise to make our community a better place to live,” the release said.

All nominees will be honored; however, one nominee will be chosen to receive the Carmen Sarro Award for “Improving the Status of Women Through Community Service.” Reservations are $90 and May 5 is the ticket reservation deadline.

You can ride Santa Clarita Transit to the game and cheer on the Los Angeles Dodgers as they battle the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday, May 14, at 7:10 p.m.

Santa Clarita Transit will have two buses traveling from the Santa Clarita Valley to and from Dodger Stadium on May 14. One bus will depart from the McBean Regional Transit Center (24375 Valencia Blvd.), while the other will depart from the Via Princessa Metrolink Station (19201 Via Princessa).

Both buses will leave their respective station promptly at 4:15 p.m. for an anticipated arrival at Dodger Stadium by 6 p.m. Buses will park in Lot 12 at Dodger Stadium and will depart the stadium to return to Santa Clarita 45 minutes following the conclusion of the game.

Bus fare is $3 per person and can be purchased using a TAP card, on the Token Transit app or aboard the bus in cash only. Each bus has 57 seats, and once the bus is full, those not on the bus will need to arrange their own transportation to Dodger Stadium. Seats are available on a firstcome, first-served basis and the bus routes are open to any interested rider.
