Third Tuesdays!

In January the group will resume meeting monthly each 3rd Tuesday, gathering from 6–9 PM, but we will move to the new Kingfield-Lyndale community space at 3537 Nicollet Ave South. The format is causal, so drop in for as much time as you have free. Bring your own machine if you are a sewer, or just show up and help iron, cut, and pin. All levels of participation are welcomed, and we look forward to connecting with each other and sharing conversations about how we can all leave a lighter footprint our earth.

Stay in touch with the group via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/507876746461602/.

Minneapolis Election Judges Needed for March 3, August 11, and November 3, 2020

By

The City of Minneapolis has been working to get individuals registered as election judges so they can be trained in late January and be ready for the March 3rd Presidential Primary.

If you are interested in being an election judge register directly with the City at this link: http://vote.minneapolismn.gov/judges/APPLICATION. There you will give them your name and contact info, tell them if you want to volunteer your time or be paid ($17.15 per hour), and inform them if you want to work a full day or a half day.  The City needs people of all races, languages, political parties, and areas of the City to serve as judges so please consider signing up to work.

Remember when they ask this: How did you hear about this opportunity? Answer Kingfield Neighborhood Association–CORE and KFNA will receive a financial stipend for your service.

2020 is already roaring down our throats and we all need to be about the work of upholding fair and impartial elections—so thank you to those of you willing to accept this responsibility and fill out your form today!

The Great Winter Warm-Up: 110 Comforters in 2 Days

By

Friday Jan. 17 and Saturday, Jan. 18, 10 am to 3 pm both days.
Help us make 110 comforters in two days for families at the US-Mexican border and Middle Eastern refugees. Judson Church and the Mennonite Central Committee will provide the batting materials, along with coffee, tea and hot water. Whether you are a knotter, sewer, stuffer or learner, experts will be on hand to help. If you are a sewer, bring your machine and some fabric, whole pieces or pieces that can be sewn together. Knotters bring scissors. A sack lunch and perhaps a shareable sweet is a good idea. Meet your neighbors and help keep some families warm. See mcc.org for tips on making comforters.
For more info or to RSVP contact Marlys Weins lovejoypeace@gmail.com or Polly Schrom at pollyschrom@hotmail.com
