A Celebration of Seniors

On a brisk evening in Marco Island, the Rose History Auditorium radiated genuine warmth as the Marco Island Historical Society (MIHS) hosted the third annual Complimentary Seniors Concert, generously sponsored this year by The Rotary Club of Marco Island Noontime. 

Two hundred seniors enjoyed a complimentary concert featuring classically trained vocalist Jodi Keogan and her skilled accompanist, Seth Weinstein. Jodi, who grew up immersed in musical theatre, transitioned into a classical singer during her teenage years, allowing her to effortlessly blend Classical music with Broadway hits and selections from the Great American Songbook in her performance. 

Pat Rutledge, Chief Executive Officer of the Marco Island Historical Society, remarked, “Our seniors represent the heart and soul of our island and its history. They are the storytellers whose narratives we cherish for future generations. We take pride in honoring them with this concert.” 

Sue Haviland, President of The Marco Island Rotary Club Noontime, added, “Rotary’s motto of Service Above Self resonates profoundly within the community. We were privileged to sponsor this event. The performances were captivating, and it was truly uplifting to witness.”
