Recognizing Marco Island Academy Key Club

I read last week’s edition of the Coastal Breeze Saturday afternoon. Among the many interesting articles and stories were the insightful words (as always) of Stef regarding the many outstanding volunteers and organizations on the Island that make so much happen in our Community. Of course, not all could be mentioned in one article, but my experiences of last Saturday brought one such group to the forefront.

I had just returned from the annual Jerry Adams Chili Cook-Off at the Esplanade. One of the organizations and businesses creating fabulous chili was the Marco Island Academy Key Club, complete with the school’s Manta Ray mascot. That struck me as I’d just left the KC’s annual car show at the Catholic Church where MIA Key Club members were helping to staff the event. The morning started for me with Yoga on the beach where MICA was hosting a beach clean-up day. You guessed it, Key Club members were participating.

It's gratifying to see our local teenagers so active and involved with their community. They will carry that forward as adults. The MIA Key Club Rocks!
