Carmalita (Carly) Martin of Lincoln attending Bowling
Green State University seeking an Accounting degree.
Jaycie Doerr graduating from Mount Pulaski High
School will attend Western Illinois University majoring in
Journalism.
Emma Buenrostro, graduating from Mount Pulaski High
School, will attend Illinois State University with teaching as her
major.
The Women’s Career Scholarships were possible as a
result of Logan County residents' contributions to the Zonta Club of
Lincoln’s Virtual Turkey Dinner held this Fall. The 56th Annual Sit
Down Dinner was cancelled due to Covid-19 attendance limits of 50
people when typically 1,000 to 1,200 attendees are served.
Two Lincoln Community High School students, Madison Orebaugh and
Emma Jones, were the recipients of the Melanie Schaler Memorial
Nursing Scholarships. These awards were made possible by a generous
donation from the family of Melanie Schaler and contributions from
the Zonta Club of Lincoln.

Both women are 2021 graduates of LCHS with plans to
major in Nursing.
This Fall, Madison Orebaugh will attend Southern
Illinois University at Edwardsville’s School of Nursing.
Emma Jones begins her studies at Lincoln College in
Lincoln, Illinois.
The Zonta Club of Lincoln and the Schaler Family send well wishes to
all of this year’s applicants. Many applied, but funds were limited
due to Covid-19 restrictions for fundraising. We wish all graduates
of Logan County the best as they begin their journeys into a new
phase of their lives and hope that each student will consider
supporting Zonta’s mission to advance the status of women worldwide.
Zonta International “envisions a world in which women’s rights are
recognized as human rights and every woman is able to achieve her
full potential.”
