According to the dictionary legacy is "something handed down from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past."

Many think of legacy as money or material bequeathed by one generation to the next, but legacy can be so much more. Traditions, values and wisdom, can all be handed down person to person, generation to generation as part of your legacy.

Our younger generation hears the world legacy and thinks of old age and death, something they don't have to consider at this point in their lives, right?

Legacy means building on who you are and what you do to make a significant impact on things that are important to you, and in turn your community.

How do you want to be remembered? What legacy are you building and leaving for the next generation? What is your legacy to your community?

"What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others." Pericles
