The Biscayne Community Foundation and Key Biscayne Historical & Heritage Society hosted a special event at Key Biscayne Community Center entitled Voyages Of Freedom: The Underground Railroad History & Legacy.

Key Biscayne Community Foundation celebrated its 10th Anniversary with The Aqua Party at The Fairways On The Key with proceeds benefiting community charitable work.

The 8th Annual Rotary Club of Key Biscayne’s Wine & Food Fest at The Links featured, among other offerings, varieties of New World wines competing against Old World wines with proceeds benefiting charitable work for adults and children.

Organized by Seabelle Captain Marilyn Borroto at the Key Biscayne Yacht Club, Commodore Ed London and his wife Claire greeted everyone with a flowered necklace, a dot on their forehead and a very warm namaste during this very special Indian-themed event. Guests enjoyed drinks and delicious appetizers in the Chart Room before gathering in the main dining room for a succulent Indian dinner. A Hindu dancer invited everyone to a private Kathak dance performance narrating the story of Lord Krishna and his beloved Radha; a superb performance dedicated to Shiva. The party continued, shaking bodies with great rhythms and libations until well past midnight.

The Key Biscayne Yacht Club started a 365-day cruise with Commodore Ed London and Seabelle Captain Marilyn Borroto at the helm. The first port-of-call was Rio de Janeiro, where guests enjoyed suave samba, tasty cachaças, sultry dancers and a world-class churrasquería dinner by Chef Miguel. It was well after midnight that all the guests retired to their cabins, eagerly anticipating the next day’s offerings.
