3 Towns, 1 Community Facebook Group Page

Just as the school district brings together three towns, so, too, does the Kennebunk-Kennebunkport-Arundel Chamber of Commerce. In our view, we may be 3 towns, but we are 1 community at heart. In this Facebook group we hope to help connect the community with posts of interest to all. This is a platform for members to post their business information and to be a community bulletin board of sorts, sharing events, issues of concerns, etc.

Thank you to our sponsors
