The Helen Briscoe Spirit Award

Helen Briscoe, a charter member of the Zonta Club of St. Charles , which was established in 1962, long embodied the true spirit of Zonta. Our mission is to advance the status of women worldwide, and locally. Helen remained an active member of the Zonta Club of St. Charles from the club's inception until her death in 2006. We have established this award for a club member who goes above and beyond in her service to others, as dear Helen did.
