The Kenney‘s CEO Kevin McFeely had an extra reason to be all smiles Wednesday afternoon – friends and colleagues from around the area crowded one of the West Seattle retirement center’s meeting rooms for a reception in his honor.

McFeely has been on the Aging Services of Washington board since 2001. You can find out more about the group at agingwa.org.
