💙 Women’s History Month in Kenmore 💙

Last night, the Kenmore Heritage Society was honored to accept the City of Kenmore’s Women’s History Month Proclamation at the City Council meeting. Our President, Marella Alejandrino, accepted the proclamation on behalf of the Society, alongside several members of our dedicated Board.
This recognition reflects the collective work of so many women—past and present—who have shaped Kenmore’s history and continue to strengthen our community through leadership, service, and storytelling.
Thank you to the City of Kenmore City Council and Mayor Nigel Herbig for this meaningful recognition and for your continued support of community history, leadership, and service.
