History of Zonta Club of Kaohsiung Yu-Hsiuan
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　September, 2014
Zonta Club of Kaohsiung Yu-Hsiuan was established on July 21, 1994 through the guidance and assistance of Evelyn L. Chang, the former Area 2 Director of District 26 and Club President of Kaohsiung at that time. With all the efforts made by the founding president, Mary S.Duh, as well as the succeeding club presidents and all the members, Zonta Club of Kaohsiung Yu-Hsiuan has laid a good foundation. In Chinese「Yu-Hsiuan」means「For the nurturing of women」. During these twenty years, we follow the aims and goals of Zonta International, by holding many charitable activities, social services, charity bazaar for fund raising, presenting the scholarship to help the students of Kaohsiung Girls Senior High School who suffer from unexpected family turns. We worked with Kaohsiung Club in Zonta Awards to encourage young women who have remarkable achievements to continue their studies and pursuits in various fields. Also cooperated with other clubs and organization to deliver our love and help for aboriginal people and the victims and households from the accident of Kaohsiung gas explosion. Through the organization of these events and services, we have helped to advance the status of women and developed a strong sense of teamwork. 

In 2012 to 2013, We assisted to organize the Rose Day Fund Raising activities, District Meeting and District 31 Conference and to attend International Conventions. We did not just hold fundraisers for local problems, but also donated to ZIF in an international effort. 

We continuously encourage our club members to donate to ZIF and, for two times, there was a 100 percent turn-out rate in contribution. 

Through the communication with domestic and international clubs, we get to know many outstanding members, not only promote our international outlook but also enrich the club growth experience.

In 2013, thanks to the warm assistance of Amy Lai, a member of Zonta International Centennial Anniversary Committee, we were able to tie a sisterhood with the Club of Hakodate in Japan, which promoted our skill of international communication. In 2014, one of our winners, Helena Chang, has entered the District 31 YWPA slate. She is one of the 3 winners and this is our first catch. We held our twenty years anniversary in June, 2014, with the former and current club presidents and members gathered together to set targets for the future: follow the goals of ZI and District 31 in fundraising for international services, cooperating with local resources to handle issues related to women's activities and to recruit new members. In September 2014, we sponsor a Z Club in Kaohsiung American School, not only to cultivate the future young leader, but also to work together to build a better future through service and advocacy.
