Kingfield Neighbors–if you missed last fall’s round of home energy workshops (and last spring’s too!) you can still attend the sessions that are occuring in other neighborhoods. The workshop is still free to attend you still come home with lots of free stuff; KFNA is no longer covering the home visit fee of $30 but the only way to sign up for this visit is by attending the workshop so we still encourage you to do both steps!
We have several upcoming workshops that Kingfield homeowners are more than welcome to attend. They are being held on:
Tuesday, October 19th at 6:30 p.m. at Washburn High School (201 W 49th St.)
Tuesday, November 9th at 6:30 p.m. at Minnehaha Academy South Campus (4200 West River Pkwy)
Wednesday, November 10th at 7 p.m. at Zion Lutheran Church (128 33rd St. W)
Thursday, December 2nd at 6:30 p.m. at Linden Hills Recreation Center (3100 41st St. W)
