Thank You to Community for Annual Turkey Dinner

Send a link to a friend  Share

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 about the Zonta Club of Lincoln, visit our website at http://zontadistrict6.org/lincoln or Facebook page at https://www.facebook. com/ZontaLincoln.
