Our Speaker Today:
Bob Brooks - Rotary Club of Key Biscayne Art Festival
Bob Brooks is a Banker originally from the Northeast (Boston area.) He started in the industry with regulations and then joined the Bank of Boston where he traveled around the world and ultimately settled in Miami. This May he was hired to help a struggling bank overcome some of it's difficulties as President/CEO.
Bob has been an integral part of the Key Biscayne Rotary Art Festival for years. It started on Key Biscayne as a PTA event, as it grew bigger the club approached the PTA to help and ultimately took over the festival. The Rotary Club was able to take the festival to a new level. Location has always been a struggle for the festival as it is not central, in 1992 they were ready to throw in the towel, but stuck with it and to date they have given out nearly $600,000 in grants and scholarships. The festival takes place every year the weekend before the Tennis Tournament, this ensures a high volume of visitors to the area and has been a key element in the Festival's success.
The Rotary Club of Key Biscayne also hosts a wine tasting event. This is an added bonus and something they hope to grow in the future.
