Preservation and education are the goals of a local historical society. 

Bob Marsh, with the Kenny Heritage Association, explains they work to restore and maintain the historic Kenney Community Center. He's grateful to their dedicated volunteers who help in that effort. 

The money for these repairs comes from donations and fundraisers including the biggest effort of the year, the annual pancake breakfast which took place this past Saturday.

One of the ways the Community Center is a resource to the community is its availability for events or gatherings of all kinds. For such a small community, the Kenney Community Center is used frequently by people and groups from all corners of DeWitt County.
