The Keystone Community Task Force strives to actively foster unity, vibrancy, and mutual support in our neighborhood. We achieve this through a commitment to organizing engaging events and community initiatives that give back to our community, making it a better place for all residents.
Envisioning a community spirit and closely-knit neighborhood where every resident enjoys a thriving community life, filled with engaging events and mutual support. We strive to create a harmonious and caring community that serves the Keystone neighborhood.
The KCTF is the local community group for Keystone residents, and joining is free—every person living in Keystone automatically becomes a member. The organization is managed by a Board of Directors and Officers. If you want to serve on the Board, you must go to the KCTF meeting in May to get your name on the voting list for the new Board. Board members serve for three years, but they have the option to run for another three-year term once their initial term ends.
