Upper Keys Rotary Presents Donation to Key Largo Rotary

The Foundation of the Upper Keys Rotary Club donated $10,000 to the Key Largo Rotary Club to use toward their scholarship awards in 2021. The donation from Upper Keys Rotary is a part of the more than $80,000 raised during a community-wide Scholarship Appeal held earlier this year to replace the Gigantic Nautical Flea Market that was unable to occur due to the pandemic.

“Key Largo Rotary and its members have been in integral part of the success of the Nautical Flea Market for many years and we have enjoyed providing a portion of the event proceeds for their efforts in the past,” said Upper Keys Rotary President Jill Miranda Baker to the Key Largo Club when presenting the donation. “Your club, like ours, maintains a focus on awarding scholarships annually and we are glad to contribute to your efforts.”

Key Largo Club President Laura Lietaert accepted the donation on behalf of her club. “This donation will allow us to provide about $30,000 in scholarship funds this month,” Lietaert said.

Upper Keys Rotary meets weekly on Tuesdays at 12 noon at Capt. Craig’s. For more information, call 305-304-0052. Key Largo Rotary meets weekly on Wednesdays at 7:30 a.m. at Playa Largo Resort. For more information, call 305-395-1596.
