President's Message
Dear Homeowners,
As we begin 2026, I would like to thank all our residents, volunteers, and board members for their continued support and commitment to our community. The strength of our neighborhood comes from the people who live here and the pride we all take in maintaining a welcoming, safe, and attractive place to call home.
Over the past years, our association has focused on maintaining our shared spaces, improving communication with homeowners, and responsibly managing our budget. Thanks to the cooperation of our residents and the dedication of our board, we were able to address several projects including repairing the police hut in town, maintaining our community cart, new benches at the flagpole, a new homeowner’s website and printed directory.
Looking ahead to 2026 and 2027, our priorities include maintaining the quality of our common areas, reviewing future improvements, and ensuring the financial stability of the association.
A strong community does not happen by chance. It is created through thoughtful planning, responsible leadership, and the active participation of its residents. Over the past year, the Board has focused on strengthening our financial foundation, maintaining the beauty and integrity of Kismet , and ensuring that our decisions reflect the long-term interests of all homeowners.
Looking forward, our goals are clear, to preserve and enhance the value of our homes, to maintain a safe and welcoming environment. Working with the Fire Island Association , we will focus on proactive maintenance, protecting our beach and bay front and prepare for future stability improvements.
Together, we can ensure that our community continues to grow stronger, more beautiful, and more connected with each passing year.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you for your continued support and cooperation. We look forward to another productive year and to working together to keep our community a place we are all proud to call home.
Sincerely,
Gary J. Leone
President
Kismet Community Association
