The Kelleys Island Landowners Association (KILA) received four applications to support projects in 2025 to improve and enhance Kelleys Island.   Two awards were approved by the board of directors:

1.  Kelleys Island School – $7261.00 for furnishing the outdoor classroom pavilion for the KI Field Station.  The seating will include two octagon picnic tables with attached seating to accommodate 16 and four perimeter seating benches that will allow for up to eight people to sit at a comfortable distance if that is their preference. In addition, a trash receptacle will be purchased for the space. The Outdoor Classroom pavilion will be available for KILA and other community groups to use when not engaged by the Field Station. 
2. Kelleys Island 4-H Camp – $2448.00 for the dining hall updates.  This includes appliances to better serve campers, staff, and the KI community.  The 4-H camp hosts the annual KILA family hayride on the third Saturday in October.

Awards for these and past projects are made possible by KILA members.  Over the last five years, KILA has approved support for 12 projects totaling about $65,000.   Annual dues, donations, and fundraising activities are the sources to fund KILA’s contributions.  We welcome your joining as members and/or volunteers in our activities.  Please visit our website www.kila.rocks or contact us at info@KILA.rocks for more information

The KILA Family Hay Ride at the 4H Camp is Saturday October 19, 2024 from 3-5 PM.
