**Kenmore Love Notes: *Love is in the Air this Valentine's Day!
*In Kenmore, a Love Note is more than a letter on paper. A  Love Note is a simple act or gesture by an individual or group (i.e., co-creators) that engages the community and creates fun, beauty, or a collective sense of community and place. Love Notes can be seen all over Kenmore, if you just take a look around. *

* Today, Lake City Partners held a Valentine’s Day Opening Ceremony for the Kenmore Senior Women’s Shelter [ https://lakecitypartners.org/kenmore-senior-womens-shelter/ ]. The event was held to thank the wonderful people and organizations who have come together to so lovingly ready this beautiful and thoughtful shelter dedicated to homeless senior women.
* Last Saturday, 50 community members (including Mayor Herbig) attended the Thoughtful Citizens [ https://www.facebook.com/ThoughtfulCitizensWA/ ] Sentiments for Seniors valentine card making event at the Hangar. "302 valentine cards were made and delivered to local seniors!"
