I would like to invite you to sign up to volunteer for Kingfield’s 1st Empty Bowls event. Please click on the link above to sign up.

I am using Jooners to organize this activity. To participate, you do not need to register or become a member of Jooners. You just enter your email address, name, and notes to me and you will be notified of any changes and receive reminders via email!

Please feel free to pass this link onto friends in the neighborhood or colleagues that care about the issues of hunger and homelessness, or have a particular interest in youth. Information on the event is attached to this email. Youth between the ages of 12-15 are welcome to volunteer with a parent or responsible adult. Youth older than that are welcome to attend and volunteer on their own.

We are still seeking bowl donations for this event.  If you are able to help please contact me directly, or bring your donation to the Color Wheel Gallery at 46th & Grand, 11 AM- 7 PM, Tuesday-Saturday.

Then tell us, where are the people gathering to greet each other, pass a few minutes, and catch up on the community gossip?  Which intersections or nooks along that stretch seem ripe for creating welcoming and vibrant gathering spaces?  What do you see happening at each?  Email your ideas for Ben and Marjorie, the Nicollet Avenue Artist Team to info@kingfield.org
