Dear Kismet Residents

As we look back on 2024, we want to thank you for your continued support and engagement. This past year, we saw an increase in new homeowners and members as we enjoyed the spring, summer and fall with  events and lifelong memories. With your help, we have continued to grow and maintain our community.

At our core, The Kismet Community Association exists to foster and bolster our Hamlet.

This upcoming year, we are excited to continue to bring our community together through events within the KCA and along with the Kismet Fire Department, Kismet Fire Department Auxiliary, Fire Island Association  and other groups.

As a nonprofit organization run by only volunteers, we want to make sure we provide high quality service to our members while maintaining  our budget .We cannot do this without your help and support.

The KCA continues to build upon our values of community development, openness and friendliness, and social importance. We are continuing to listen to community feedback  and improve our experiences while living on this beautiful island. I recently read a letter about the difference between a neighborhood and a community. A neighborhood is a place where we live, defined by homes, stores , schools, and neighbors. A community like Kismet is more meaningful. It is a sense of belonging , a connection to our neighbors. It is a place where people come together, where they offer their time and experience to make this a better place to live.

We as a board and community want to focus on making genuine connections and encouraging your input and support. Everyone should feel welcome, and we aim to be your familiar faces. Please do not hesitate to contact us at kismetcaboard@gmail.com

Best regards,

Gary J. Leone
