Spread Some Love to Our Local Seniors this Valentine’s Day!

January 24, 2023 By Sarah

Stop into either Butter Bakery Café or Royal Grounds Coffee this week and drop off a Valentine’s Day card written for 1 of our 100 community’s senior citizens that have Meals on Wheels delivered to their house each day. Meals on Wheels delivers food in our community to individuals who can benefit from home-delivered meals with a focus on older adults and people with disabilities.

Don’t have an extra Valentine’s Day card lying around your house? Stop by Digs and pick one up or take one of ours from next to the basket.  Just fill it out while you enjoy a treat and warm beverage from your local coffee shop and drop it into the basket for KFNA to collect!

Got extra Valentine’s Day cards laying around your house? Bring a few extras for neighbors to write! Remember, we need 100 in total!

KFNA will collect these cards on Sunday February 12th and get them to our neighborhood Meals on Wheels coordinator to put into their Tuesday lunch box!  Visit here to learn more about who Meals on Wheels serves, how affordable it is with the price based upon the need of the individual, and how to sign up for meals or to volunteer.

 Reminder: Today, join us for the Inaugural Kingfield Holidazzle!

December 10, 2022 By Sarah

 Join us for the Inaugural Kingfield Holidazzle!

Saturday, December 10th   5:30 PM

Honoring Jim and Joanne from Royal Ground coffee shop

In the spirit of good fun and community building, let’s dress in lights and holiday cheer and have a mini Holidazzle parade (for those not familiar with the winter Minneapolis celebration, watch this video   https://tinyurl.com/bdfam8yp).

In addition to the fun, let’s take a moment to thank Jim + Joanne, the owners of the Royal Grounds coffee shop. After 12 years of incredible service to our community, Jim and Joanne are moving on to a new chapter.  While the shop will be left in good hands, let’s gather together and toast these stalwarts of our neighborhood.

Here’s the plan:

  1. Dress up your clothing, bike, stroller, etc. in LIGHTS, wear a COSTUME, and bring your smiles (see photo below).  Dress warmly as we will be outside.
  2. Bring your own cup of coffee, cocoa, or libation of your choice (the coffee shop will be closed).
  3. Meet at Royal Grounds at 5:30 p.m. to raise a glass + toast to Jim & Joanne
  4. Leave the coffee shop at 6 p.m. for a parade down Grand Avenue to 46th
  5. Hang with your neighbors afterward at Tap Society or Cafe Ena or go home

Kids, grown-ups, + pets are all welcome!
