What are the details?
Ragged Keys Yacht Club Membership
If you donate $15, you will receive a membership card to the historic and defunct Ragged Keys Yacht Club.
Formed in the early 1970s by former Islandia Mayor Jack Pyms, the club’s HQ on Ragged Key #5 was a decommissioned Republican National Convention houseboat. The club eventually fell victim to vandals but not before they could make a splash in newspapers.
Citizenship to the Lost City of Islandia
If you donate $40, you will be granted citizenship to the Lost City of Islandia.
What does this entail? An ID with title and supporting documents that looks like this:
A Seat on the Islandia City Commission

Perhaps You Fancy Yourself a Pioneer
For $150, you can pay your respects to and be in league with past legends of Islandia. They include:
Lancelot Jones, a sponge diver, fishing guide, and conservationist whose official day of the year in Dade County is October 13th.
Ralph Munroe, who coined the phrase the Safety Valve to describe the alluvial flats between Key Biscayne and Islandia in an early effort to protect the Bay from development.
Members of the Soldier Key Yacht Club and Cocolobo Cay Club who fished, drank, and boated in the waters of Islandia.
Who Will be the Mayor?
