Want to tour Minneapolis 911 center?
KFNA Crime Prevention and Safety Committee (CPaS) Meeting is working on scheduling a tour of the Minneapolis 911 Center. Interested? We need to let MPD know how many people we think will attend the tour, so if this is something that you would like to do, please send an e-mail to Cheryl@Kingfield.org and let her know! We hope to plan the tours for early December, depending on the level of interest and the times that people are available.

Are Ye of Good Cheer and Wanting to Sing?!
KFNA is looking for looking 2-3 additional sites in Kingfield to be, on a yet to be determined date in December, a “reverse caroling” site!
Reverse Caroling, you ask, what is THAT? We are seeking households with a musical bend willing to stoke up the fire pit and hang out in their front yard singing holiday songs and possibly playing instruments on a yet-to-be-determined evening. KFNA will publish a map of the locations and encourage neighbors to walk to one or more of the homes to sing along as “reverse carolers”!
No date has been determined but we are thinking a weekday evening, not a weekend...
Contact Sarah Linnes-Robinson, KFNA Director, at sarah@kingfield.org if you are interested in hosting a caroling site!
