Zonta is an international organization comprised of business and professional women which focuses of women's issues. Throughout the history of Lincoln’s Zonta Club the annual turkey dinner has been a staple to Lincoln’s community wide activities and is a major fundraiser for the club. Profits from the turkey dinner are used to fund local scholarships and service projects, and in recent years have ranged from $4,000 to over $5,000. An estimated $60,000 in local scholarships has been given out by the Zonta Club of Lincoln over the years.

Over the past 50 years the turkey dinner has grown in size and moved to various locations around Lincoln, from the Knights of Columbus Hall to Carroll Catholic School, and eventually to Lincoln Community High School where the dinner continues to make its home.

This year the Zonta Club Turkey Dinner hopes to continue in its tradition to serve over 1,000 people in Lincoln; so come and join in this year’s golden anniversary turkey dinner!
