In celebration of Zonta International’s centennial year, the Zonta Club of Medford and Howe Creative Studio & Gallery are hosting a “Words of Empowerment” gathering. All are invited to bring a poem, short reading, or a song to share with others. The theme of the evening is the empowerment of women. The “Words of Empowerment” gathering is presented as part of the “Women Rising” visual art exhibit now on display at Howe Creative Studio & Gallery through July 31.
