One of the wonderful things that your ZCOM™️
are responsible for each year is hosting two Community Projects each term. A common misconception is that the ZCOM™️ are
the ones hosting, collecting etc for the District Project. The purpose of the
Community Projects are to unite the Zumba®️ Community in each district to come
together for a common cause in support of their community and for the ZIN™️ to
host, promote, and collect. The ZCOM™️
in most districts will and do help with messaging that is consistent for the
entire district to use for promotion.
These projects are chosen based on district ZIN™️’s input on their
community needs. To start this process,
usually the District ZCOM™️ will get together and discuss several ideas that
would benefit the community as a whole.
They then put those ideas out to the ZIN™️ in the district and have them
choose which project they would like to focus on. This could be as simple as a district
collecting non-monetary donations for a singular charity, or could be collecting
non-monetary donations for several different charities depending on the needs
of a specific region of the district. With the finish of the holiday season, we would like to share with you
one such District Project from District 2, Australia!

District 2 has a newly formed ZCOM™️
team. Prior the ZCOM™️ in New Zealand
were responsible for both their District 1 and also Australia’s District
2. This year District 2 has 4 ZCOM™️
reps and they have completed their very first District wide community
project. Their reps are Annette James
from Adelaide, South Australia, Alan
Gomez and Nina Gonzales-Zaldiva from Melbourne, Victoria, and Tammy Bowman from Hobart, Tasmania. Their Cans For Christmas event dreamed up by ZIN™️
Stephanie Wiggins was widely accepted across the district and was carried out
with huge success. Each ZCOM™️ team in
the district advertised together their separate events that ran 90 minutes and
brought together ZIN™️ members and participants for a common cause to each of
their locations. All in all they had a
highly successful event that benefited the Salvation Army in Australia’s 3
represented states. Way to go on your
first District Project completion!
Most, if not all 49 districts, have completed the
first Community Project for the term. Keep a look out for the second one and also
the Meet and Greets that each District hosts each year. Your District ZCOM™️ will be posting more
details for all of these on your District ZCOM™️ page on Facebook. You and your fellow ZIN™️ can make a huge difference
in your community!
