Thanks to all the volunteers and staff that made our annual Kentwood Pride Day a success. Many residents were able to dispose of unwanted household items, recycle electronic components, and donate to the Salvation Army. Special thanks to the Kentwood Senior VIPS’, Commissioners’ Sharon Brinks, Maurice Groce, Laurie Sheldon, and Michael Brown. Deborah Stakenas EKHS Latin Class, Stephen Kepley, Rich Houtteman, and Ron Woods also pitched in with a great effort by Kentwood DPW. Thanks for keeping Kentwood beautiful!
