opinion on matters pertaining to the community.
Controversial issues:
As a
community we need to be able to talk openly about
matters that affect the quality of our lives. The
most effective and least offensive manner to get
your point across is to stick to the issue
and refrain from commenting on another person's

issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

 To the editor:On behalf of
the Zonta Club of Lincoln, we would like to thank everyone who
supported the 54th annual Zonta Turkey Dinner on Sunday, November
4th. This year we sold 863 tickets, of which the proceeds will help
us fund scholarships for women in Logan County as well as support
local organizations and Zonta International projects. Your support
helps us continue to empower women locally and globally to expand
their access to education, healthcare, economic opportunities, and
safe living conditions.
Our Club recognizes year over year that this event would not be a
success without our patrons and the support of our entire community
- so thank YOU for that. We would specifically like to thank all of
our student and non-student volunteers for serving meals, seating
guests, and cleaning up: Hunter McKinney, Dean Harris, Sydney Worth,
and Kristina Nguyen (Lincoln Community High School National Honor
Society); Zach Menzel (LCHS); Emma Menzel and Makenzie Worth
(Lincoln Junior High School); Ashley Cooper (Lincoln Christian
University); Jasmine Thakkar, Aliza Sideligui, and Julia Beccue (Zonta
Golden Z Club members at the University of Illinois in
Champaign-Urbana); Seth, Scott, and Gaynor Goodman; Aaron Smith;
Steve and Kim Spaulding; Aaron McCain; Joe Schaler; John Hebenstreit;
John Grigsby; and Gavin Farmer.

 We would also like to thank several people who
helped make this year’s event possible once again: our food vendors
Mary Jo Willits of Gordon Food Service and Chris Reid of Kohl
Wholesale as well as Tracy Farmer, the LCHS School Board,
Superintendent Robert Bagby, Lori Lawson, Rachel Jording, and Mike
Camp from Lincoln Community High School for providing the location,
support, and assistance in planning and preparation.
Thank you again to everyone for partnering with us every year to
make a difference in our community! If you would like to learn more
