bpw|member SPOTLIGHT
Vicky Fay
I moved to the Keys in September of 1997, and in October attended the BPW Expo. I still remember how excited I was to find a professional woman’s organization in the Keys (Thanks Pam Martin and Patricia Mull).
Then I started Tropical Business Services that provides business services, and I just celebrated 10 years as the Clerk with the Key Largo Fire Rescue & Emergency Services District.
Tropical also provides advertising/marketing services including selling custom-printed promotional products imprinted with your business logo. We have access to thousands of different types of promotional products including: Koozies, drinkware, pens, keychains and t shirts. Our mission is to promote the success of our clients’ business!
In 2006 the Upper Keys BPW selected Tropcial Business Services as Business of the Year. In 2008, I expanded the business and purchased Sunshine Printing, which has now been providing printing services to the Keys for over 32 years.
Our goal is to provide great customer service and superior quality-printed products! To see more about our services visit our website www.floridakeysprinting.com.
I am a member of BPW, which is very close to my heart, and my passion is Voices for Florida Keys Children where I am an Advisory Council board member. Voices provides the financial support for children involved in the Guardian Ad Litem Program.
I am the treasurer for the Upper Keys Republican Club and a member of the Republican Executive Committee of Monroe County. Sunshine Printing also is a member of the Key Largo, Islamorada and Ocean Reef chambers of commerce.
I am active in the community and am a graduate of the Monroe County Citizen’s Police Academy Class V (2015) and Leadership Monroe Class XIII (2006), and past BPW board member, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Crimewatch Captain, president and treasurer of Key Largo Village, treasurer of the Island of Key Largo Federation of Homeowner Associations, and a member of the Community Development Block Grant Committee.
It has been an exciting year with many challenges, and it is great to be involved in such a wonderful community. It is always challenging to grow your business and I am thrilled our business has grown!
Jim and I just celebrated our 22nd anniversary together and I have three beautiful granddaughters. Stevie is in the Air Force and just went to Iraq, Holly is at the San Francisco Academy of the Arts, and Scarlett just graduated high school.
Before moving to the Keys, I was a consultant in Information and Records Management in the nuclear industry.
With my skin, I have never been a “sun bunny” but I do enjoy diving, fishing, going to the movies, reading and playing cards.

Many thanks to long-time BPW member Della Wheaton for once again hosting our holiday party. Here's a photo from last year. You're the best, Della! (For the one or two who don't know Della -- yet -- she's in the center of the third row up from the front.)
Upper Keys BPW sends our love and well wishes to long-time member and Director, Pam Martin as she recovers from hip surgery.
