The Zonta Club of Farmington Novi, a local club of Zonta International, takes part in, and contributes to, both international and local service projects.

"ZONTA" is derived from a Lakhota word (Teton Dakota, a language of the Native American Sioux peoples) meaning honest and trustworthy. It was adapted in 1919 to symbolize the combined qualities of honesty and trust, inspiration and the ability to work together for service and world understanding.
The emblem is not simply a decorative design. It is an adaptation and composite of several Sioux Indian symbols which, when superimposed, take on a special significance for Zontians. For the full story of the Zonta Emblem, please visit www.zonta.org.
The Yellow Rose is Zonta's Symbol of Fellowship.
Zontian's celebrate Zonta Rose Day (March 8th - which is International Women's Day) to honor and celebrate inspirational women.
