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.
To the editor: I started coming to Lake Placid in the late ’80s for the horse show. I always loved coming to this horse show because I loved the community. I developed friendships over the years and enjoyed a sense of welcoming and belonging that I did not experience at other shows. Having grown up across the lake in Vermont, it was also a nice perk that my job brought me close to home and family. The pull got stronger each year, and then 25 years ago, I decided to leave the nomadic life behind and call Lake Placid my home.
