About Me
Randy Kennedy and family have been residents of Alii Shores since 1990. A retired natural area manager with the State DLNR, he was been an ASYC Board-member for much of that time. His favorite activites at the Yacht Club are launching his paddle board for a cruise around the Bay with wife Katrena and his dog Ein and just sitting on the bench beside dock and enjoying the view.
