Kippy.. The Mayor of WIllow Grove

It was a very busy year for Kip and his work within the community. After the re-formation of the Willow Grove Chamber of Commerce, Kip dove in with gusto.
Business card exchanges, Meet the Candidates, Re-development, all these things kept him hopping.

In May, Kip . along with Pat Stasio of Parks and Rec. held the first Willow Grove Community Day. It was a tremendous success and they immediately started planning the next years event!

Along the way, Kip enlisted Bob Young and the two of them took on War Memorial Park. They spent countless weekends cutting down, clearing out and making the park look wonderful. Bob probably didn't know what he was getting into having Kip as a friend!

In November, Kip was honored by the Chamber with the first Joe Hagy Award. Aside from the obvious honor of the award, it was extra special being name for Joe who was a mentor as well as a friend. They had a very nice dinner at HVCC and Joe Tryon and Laura Hagy Enama presented the award, it was truly wonderful!

Finally, Kip took over Ewillowgrove.com.

Busy busy guy!
