Enter to Win A HandPainted Chair


Christmas and Holiday Season will be different in so many ways this year, yet this season loving kindness still has the power to help us celebrate all that is good in life.  To help with the festivities, we have a hand painted chair that we will give to one lucky person.  The seat of the chair is painted with a scene of the Village gazebo.  And look! -it even has the tree in it that we added when we decorated it late last month!  The chair colors are meant to be warming to look at during the cold wither months, and there is even a heart on the chair for Valentine's Day.  We will randomly select a winner on December 23rd and will make sure the winner receives it before the 25th.  
The chair is in the window at 7 Warren Avenue -feel free to stop by to get a better look at it.  This space will be our new office and shop which is currently being renovated.   

    Enter to win Here!

The chair has been varnished since the photos were taken, so the painting is now protected with a slight sheen that will add to it's durability.

Congratulations to our October Good Neighbor Award recipients, Jeff Rutowski and Jim Trautman.  Jeff Rutowski is the owner of Kenmore Prescription Center, located at 2818 Delaware Ave.  Jeff has graciously allowed the KVIS to store many of the season decorations we use throughout the year in the Village, at his building.  Before we were able to store the decorations there, we had them stuffed in members garages and attics throughout Kenmore.  It has been such a blessing to have the decorations centrally located together.

Bee colonies have declined drastically in recent years.  Without bees and other pollinators, humanity can not survive because there won't be enough food. You can help save the bees by taking the pledge and becoming a Bee Ambassador.  Sign up today and learn more about what we all can do to help save bees and other pollinators.

Become a Block Representative!
Picture
Let's face it: we care about the big things in life, but it is often those things closest to us that can make our quality of life better or worse. That's why the KVIS is organizing block clubs -to help ensure that the good things happening on your block are celebrated and the things that aren't so good are given the attention they need.  If you are interested in helping make sure that your neck of the woods is as good as it can be, then we encourage you to consider becoming a Block Representative.  Our goal is to have each of the 143 blocks in the Village be represented as a part of the Kenmore Village Block Club Committee.  ​

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 sometimes.  So we set about finding out what the most common complaints are between neighbors and what makes for a really great neighbor.  We created our Good Neighbor Guide as a way to help us all know what the basic guidelines are for creating a fair and peaceful co-existence.  We also created the Good Neighbor Award to acknowledge and honor those whose goodness goes above and beyond.  Kenmore is filled with good neighbors, so most of us likely know of someone who is deserving of this Award.  Click below for the Good Neighbor Guide brochure and nomination form.
