March 8 is also Zonta Yellow Rose Day, which recognizes those who supported women’s suffrage by wearing yellow roses on their lapels. Each R.O.S.E. award winner was therefore presented with yellow roses. In past years, those awards were handed out during social gatherings; however, due to restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic, award winners were honored in private this year, like they were a year ago.
