Become a Block Representative!

Let's face it: we care about the big things in life, but it is often those things closest to us that can make the quality of life better or worse.  If you're a person who cares about the block you live on in Kenmore, we encourage you to consider becoming a Block Representative.  The goal of the Kenmore Block Club Committee is to have each of the 143 blocks in the Village have a Block Club and  be represented on the Committee. ​
Kenmore Business Survey III
Click here to take a brief survey.
By completing past Kenmore Businesses Surveys you've helped us know just what kind of businesses Kenmore residents and friends hope to open here.  In survey I and II, you told us that a quality bakery was the number one business you would like to see here and we now have Chrusciki Bakery.  We share the information you give with all WNY Commercial Real Estate Brokers and Agents and more.  
KVIS Front Garden Makeover
Blooming for this year will end Friday July 8th.  Each year the friendly competition to see who has the most splendid front garden takes place in the Village of Kenmore through the KVIS Kenmore in Bloom initiative.  This is the 5th year of Blooming and in that time we've seen the curb appeal of homes and businesses improve.  Start planning your front garden improvements now because Blooming takes place June 18 through July 5, 2016.

WNY Canine Rescue Awards
Through our Northtown Subaru Dog Days of Kenmore event, the KVIS has learned that the devoted people who participate in dog rescue groups are truly unsung heroes. The WNY Canine Rescue Award banquet is our way of bringing light to the work done by these groups with each rescue group invited and attending receiving an award to acknowledge and praise their work in our community.   The 2016 Awards Ceremony will take place on Saturday, November 5th at 6:00 pm.  Location tba.  
Are You a Good Neighbor?
When the KVIS first started, we heard from many people who would sigh and say, "It seems like some people just don't know how to be a good neighbor."  We realized that there may be some truth to that statement and set about finding out what the most common complaints are between neighbors and what makes for a really great neighbor. Download the Good Neighbor Guide, a brochure that can help everyone know how to be respectful of those we live near. You can also nominate your neighbor to receive an annual Good Neighbor Award!
I have been a member of the KVIS since its conception and I have truly enjoyed being able to give back to my community.  I love the leadership opportunities that being in KVIS gives me and my membership has definitely shaped the person I have become.  I have learned about compromise, respect, and selflessness through my involvement and 
I have come away with experiences that I will never forget.  I have cherished my place within this organization 
and encourage other young people to become active members.  -H. Willow Yeoh, 18 years old
