Ken Wessel resides in Vero Beach, Florida, and has an extensive leadership career in the fragrance industry behind him. One of the charitable organizations Ken Wessel supports is the Literacy Services of Indian River County. The nonprofit celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022.

The Golden Jubilee festivities began with a Brackett Library Launch Party and a summer tutor social and ended with the fundraiser finale, "Stories by the Sea." Held at Sea Oaks Beach Club, the celebration brought together tutors, donors, and students, committed readers in a setting featuring stacks and books.

At the event, a pair of Literacy Services students read aloud from the recently compiled "Stories by the Sea." Marisela Kempf, the outgoing student of the year, narrated an inspirational tale of arriving in a new country and working through the process of attaining US citizenship. Yuxia Simmons, 2022's student of the year, followed this with the story of how Literacy Services gave her the tools to acclimate to life in Florida and become an American citizen. The book can be purchased at the Vero Beach Book Center.

While these goals are lofty and require extended commitment, committee chair Don Mann noted that offerings are tailored to many more manageable goals. These include writing a college entrance essay, filling out a job application, and obtaining a driver's license.
