ZONTA HONORS ROBERTA DePIERO

Service Organization Recognizes Community Commitment

Zonta, a women’s service organization, recently honored Roberta DePiero, a 32-year resident of Key West, owner of Cocograms Enterprises and founder of Key West Playbills.

DePiero received the club’s 2023 Community Service Award (given to non-Zonta members who work to better the community) for her tireless efforts and countless hours in serving Monroe County residents and keeping Key West beautiful.

DePiero is an active organizer for nonprofit groups such as the American Cancer Society, Mote Marine Ocean Festival and the Anne McKee Artists Fund. She also is among the key photographers of a fundraising book, “Isolated Island: The Key West COVID-19 Spring of 2020.” The book raised $60,000 for Sister Season Fund, which was highly needed at that time.

DePiero is also dedicated to keeping Key West beautiful. She is a dedicated Plogger who has participated in almost every “Plogging The Keys” event, which take place each week in Key West at new locations, encouraging residents and visitors to pick up garbage. She has collected hundreds of pounds of trash and recycling, and dozens of gallons of cigarette butts.

A former member and past president of Zonta Club of Key West, she continues to serve the community in multiple other capacities. She continues to make great strides and a big impact in helping others while ensuring our community remains a beautiful place to live.
