Letters: Signs salute
To the editor:
The GFWC Lincoln Woman’s Club would like to thank the many Logan County schools who supported our recent graduation sign fundraiser. Nine area schools ordered “Congratulations Graduate” signs to recognize and honor their newly graduated students. Working with Lincoln Printers, the signs were produced in each school’s colors and featured a photo of each student.
LWC members planted the Lincoln Community High School graduates signs on the Logan County Courthouse lawn on the day of the 2021 Senior Parade. Many of the new graduates enjoyed posing by the signs after the parade’s end before taking them home. Other schools displayed their signs on the school driveway for several days to honor their graduates before students took them home to their own yards. Some displayed the signs on the school lawn on graduation day while several schools’ staff delivered the signs personally to the graduates’ homes.
Staff report
The Zonta Club of Lincoln awarded three Women’s Career Scholarships this month. Carmalita (Carly) Martin of Lincoln attending Bowling Green State University to seek an Accounting degree, Jaycie Doerr graduating from Mount Pulaski High School will attend Western Illinois University majoring in Journalism and Emma Buenrostro, also graduating from Mount Pulaski High School, who 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.
