Kenmore Village Improvement Society

We are volunteers who work to help make our neck of the woods as good as possible in as many ways as possible.  

We look at life in Kenmore and strive to identify what is good and what maybe isn't so good.  We then develop efficient, effective, creative, inexpensive, and thoughtful ways of supporting the good and improving what can be made better.  Improving a community can sometimes be fairly broadly defined as you can see from the list of some of the events and initiatives we do or have done.
