The Saranac Lake Village Improvement Society (VIS) celebrates its 110th anniversary in 2020.

VIS is a not-for-profit organization, staffed by volunteers who are dedicated to enhancing the great natural beauty of our community. Our priority is maintaining our beloved parks for the enjoyment of future generations.

​

We need new volunteers to join VIS and continue its proud tradition of community beautification and community service. Whether you'd like to volunteer on a regular basis or occasionally volunteer for special projects like flower planting or park clean-up, please fill out our volunteer form.
