Good morning, Clermont.

Lieutenant Kelly Stone from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office was honored with the Ann Dupee Gem of the Hills Award at the South Lake Chamber of Commerce breakfast for her long service to the community—she has coached, taught and supported local programs since 1998.

This summer she will launch a Kiwanis Club initiative to provide Mascotte Charter School students with jars of peanut butter and jelly.

The Kiwanis Club of Clermont awarded $22,500 in scholarships to eleven Key Club students from local high schools after reviewing their commitment to making positive changes in schools and communities—Cadence Whitehouse of Montverde Academy, who logged over 1,000 community service hours and served as Key Club Lieutenant Governor, stood out.
