The five local women who were selected to be lauded at this year’s R.O.S.E. brunch represent the best in all of us–in areas including the arts, law enforcement/emergency services, environmental causes, athletics, community volunteer work, educational opportunity and beyond. Each one of them is an example of the positive influence one woman can have on a community, and was nominated by a member of the local Zonta Club. The Zonta Club of the Adirondacks is thrilled to recognize them for their dedication, professionalism, courage and kindness, and looks forward to a community celebration with many attending in their honor.

Past local honorees include Wendy Beeman, Ruth Hart, Linda Hudson, Georgia Jones, Kaysie Kyler, Johanna Mac Dougall, Patti McConvey, Kristin Makrin, Amy Pasco, Vanessa Pillen, Mary Rooks, Linda Shaw Young, Anna Izzo, Lisa Hudson, Janelle Bausman, Valerie Abraham-Rogers, Shelby Davis, Barb Erikson, Kathy Ford, and Linda Blair.
