The South Lake Chamber Holiday Breakfast was held at Clermont City Center on December 16. A special musical performance was presented by Caponi’s Cannolis School of the Arts.
The Caponi’s Cannolis School of the Arts provides a musical outlet for children since 2005. The school prides itself in creating a family environment in which children can learn and grow in their confidence. Classes teach students not only how to perform, but also tap into their inner self, showing outwardly what they inwardly possess.

The Ann Dupee Gem of The Hills Award was presented by Kathy Smith, Executive Director, Community Foundation of South Lake. The Gem of the Hills Community Service Award honors residents or organizations that contribute to the South Lake community; they lend their time, efforts, and talents outside any volunteer work done for their employer.
The Award was presented to Mary Jo Pfeiffer of the Give a Day Foundation.
Mary Jo Pfeiffer moved to Clermont with her husband. After settling into South Lake with her family, she opened an antique consignment shop in Downtown Clermont. She gave 15 years of helping anyone in the community obtain and sell valuables or collectibles. You could always count on being greeted with a friendly smile and southern charm when visiting her business. For many years, Pfeiffer volunteered for Meals on Wheels and prepared more than 75 meals per week. She was part of the Downtown Partnership and served on the Clermont City Council for two years.
Over the last five years, she has been a dedicated volunteer with the Give a Day Foundation. She is always ready to lend a hand for the South Lake Chamber monthly breakfast setup, breakdown, and other local events. Our recipient also spends her time volunteering at local thrift stores. Retirement certainly has not slowed her down!
