Marco Woman’s Club Features Charlette Roman as Guest Speaker

The Woman’s Club welcomed long-time Marco resident and community volunteer extraordinaire, Colonel Charlette Roman, Retired, to their April lunch meeting. She informed members of the ongoing efforts of two local organizations to protect and restore the Everglades water quality and flow - the South Florida Water Management District and the Big Cypress Basin Board. Together these two agencies manage our local flood protection system, ensure adequate water supply for our communities and safeguard our precious natural resources.

In 2019 Governor DeSantis appointed Ms. Roman to the South Florida Water Management District, where she serves as a Governing Board Member and Chair of the Big Cypress Basin Board. She is a passionate environmental advocate who prioritizes public engagement and stakeholder education. You can learn more about how the massive engineering projects of these agencies are improving and maintaining Florida’s water quality on her web site www.CharletteRoman.com and by following her on Facebook at Charlette Roman - Governing Board South Florida Water Management District. 

In other news, the Club will award its annual scholarships to local graduating high school seniors at its final lunch meeting of the season on May 4th at the Marco Island Yacht Club. 

Thanks to the sponsors, local merchants and supporters who generously donated to make the Club’s recent Fashion Show fundraiser a success. Special thanks to Kay’s on the Beach, Patchington and the Naples Lake Country Club Pro Shop for providing the fashions and to Kathein Jewelers for adding the “sparkle” to the fashions.
