Kennedy remembered as ‘pillar’ of community
XENIA A popular downtown area shopping area prominently displays his name.
But “Kennedy Korners” does not adequately describe Jim Kennedy’s total contribution to Xenia. He impacted more than a “korner.”
The longtime Xenia resident died April 4, leaving a big void throughout the community. From being a grocer to a Bible bookstore owner to the Rotary president, Mr. Kennedy was all about Xenia.
“He wanted Xenia to succeed on all levels,” said Mayor Sarah Mays. “In family, in faith, in prosperity for the community. It’s a loss for the whole community. Xenia just lost one of its biggest advocates.”

A positive impact
Foundation receives LMWN award

BELLBROOK Greene County Community Foundation received the Impact Award at the Little Miami Watershed Network’s annual meeting Feb. 9.
The foundation was awarded for having a positive impact on the Little Miami River and its corridor.
In presenting the award, LMWN Chair Hope Taft said, “The Little Miami Watershed Network and its forerunner, The Little Miami River Kleeners, would not exist if the Greene County Community Foundation had not agreed to be our financial home and taken the organization on as one of its components. This gave us the bookkeeping services, insurance, a 501.c3 number, and much needed advice on how to start a non-profit on a shoestring and in a very short period of time.”
