Serving Our Seniors and KILA are working together to experiment how they can help Kelleys Island full-time residents (KI is only residence), ages 60 and older, mitigate the financial burden of air transportation off and on of Kelleys Island, when ferry service is not available, to access unanticipated, recurring medical treatment for up to 8 weeks.
The total funding available is $3,000.00. Serving Our Seniors is providing $2,000.00 and KILA is contributing $1,000.00 to study the extent of the need.
Examples of Eligible Conditions that Qualify for Airfare Reimbursement:
Examples of Ineligible conditions for Airfare Reimbursement are:
Serving Our Seniors also has a group of volunteers who donate their time to drive Erie County senior citizens to health care appointments. The volunteers will pick up the client at the Erie-Ottawa airport, in a Serving Our Seniors vehicle. The volunteers will drive as far as Cleveland or Toledo to get the individual to their health care appointment.
To participate in this program, you must contact Serving Our Seniors at 419-624-8173 to verify your eligibility for reimbursement prior to your appointments and air travel off Kelleys Island.
For more information call Sue Daugherty, Director, Serving Our Seniors (419-624-1856).

The KI Landowners annual Homecoming Celebration 2019 proved to be a huge success. The theme this year was “Honoring Your Roots” which brought out a parade of colorful floats, a lively 44 member marching band from Elyria High School, cars, scooters and a special parade Marshal, Laura Jean Pohorence, who was born on Kelleys in 1928 put the crowning touch on the event.
Parade float winners were: 1st Sheppard 81, 2nd Lentz, 3rd Beatty, 4th Leonard.
Food, games, music, dancing, pie contest, pictures, vendors, nature exhibits and a marshmallow golf tournament added to the festivities. The main raffle of $2500 was won by Stephanie Franklin. Islanders Rob Watkins won $1000 and Cindy Leonard won $500.
Mark your calendars now for next year’s Homecoming Celebration which will be held on August 7 and 8, 2020. See you there!
