Erin Rollins is an amazing woman who had a great future ahead of her. Then, in November 2014, a horrific crash caused by a drunk driver, driving the wrong way on the interstate, nearly ended her life. Erin had multiple surgeries, in the double digits over the years, and was not expected to ever walk again. But she had a strong determination to face all this head-on. And now, as both a writer, and spokesperson for MADD, Erin is using her voice, strength, and experience to change laws, the latest being a lock device on vehicles that will not allow a person to drive under the influence. That female who caused the crash was given an 18-month jail sentence. Summer months are some of the most dangerous on the roadways.www.madd.org 1-877-MADD HELPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Delores Davis is a great woman to wrap up Women's History Month with a 'bow' of living one's best life to the fullest. At age 95, Delores continues to be active and involved in her community.  Delores gave more than 30 years of her life as a Social Worker supporting children in foster care.  She was also a devoted mother of six, who she raised alone following the death of her husband. It was this early loss that would ultimately lead Delores to essentially a new career, as a writing instructor and author. Since the younger children had little memory of their dad, Delores set to writing the family history, teaching herself computer use to help accomplish this goal. Delores has taught seniors how to write their life stories through workshops at area churches, senior centers and retirement homes.  Her energy and engagement are a strong testament to continue to live our best life as long as we have been given it.
