Presentation of the Scott Metcalf Award: The Scott Metcalf award was awarded to Leonor for the Mask Project. In acceptance, Leonor shared these words with the club:
I want to share the Scott Metcalf Award and this moment with Mary and Amanda and the 23 women who sewed tirelessly from March to December of last year for what became the Face Mask Project. You were from our Club and community and together we learned to make and fit different types of masks, over 10,300 of them, to protect those we knew and strangers of all ages who needed our help.
Masks even came from 2 sewers on both coasts of Australia! And our friends found and donated cotton fabric, elastic, thread, and t-shirts when stores were closed and inventory was scarce. A woman in NY gave us the fabric she had bought for her wedding when it was postponed. Thanks to those who gave their sewing machines and sergers to the project, who delivered masks when we were afraid to go out, and those who cut stacks of masks for us to craft.
Together, we sewed a lot, empowered each other, and made new friends. We took our Rotarian spirit to the task and we served together. I am proud to share our accomplishment and spirit. Thank you!
Thank you to Leonor and everyone else who put in all of the hard work to make this critical project a success!

Meeting Program: Lacy Robinson - Digital Legacy
- Lacy Robinson joined us again as guest speaker, this time to share a presentation with the club on planning for your digital legacy.
- Digital estate planning is the process of organizing your digital property and assets and making arrangements for what should happen to that property after your death.
- Colorado is a state that has adopted the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Access Act.
- Digital legacy planning is important because it relieves caregivers and/or next of kin of added stress, provides additional peace of mind, prevents the estate from going to probate court for years, and protects the decedent's identity.
- There are four easy steps you can take:
- Take inventory of all digital assets
- Decide where the digital assets should go
- Appoint a digital executor/fiduciary
- Secure the digital estate plan as legally binding
