Coaches Still Needed for King Park Little Kids Soccer

By

We are still in need of volunteer coaches to help with Little Kids Soccer program at MLK Park this summer, Wednesdays 6:15-7:15. You don’t have to be there all of the 9 weeks or have soccer experience. In order to prevent the program from being canceled we need you to join in the fun and teaching. We work with 4-year-olds through 9-year-olds, and generally have 60+ kids each Wednesday.

We need 5 more coaches, with 8 or 9 of them being at any given Wednesday session. If you can join in the fun, let us do some on-the-job training with you. We’ll team you with one or two other experienced coaches in the games in the 4’s, 5’s & 6’s, or 7’s -9’s groups of ~15 kids.

Sessions are June 19th through August 14th Wednesdays 6:15-7:15pm. You come as often as you are in town. Coaches arrive by 5:45 PM to baseball field #1 to help set up the fields and consult with other coaches about assignments.

Let Michael know if you can help with the fun by e-mail at michaeljvanderford@gmail.com, or by phone (612/296-9647).

 

Kingfield PorchFest Registration Opens Today, May Day 2019!

By

June 20, 6-9 PM at a local porch near you!

For anyone new to the neighborhood or has been asleep the past few years and is wondering, “What the heck is PorchFest?” PorchFest is an evening of community all wrapped up in the sounds of summer. On this single summer evening, Kingfield musicians will perform acoustic music outdoors at their respective homes, or at neighbor’s porch or yard, while others stroll through the neighborhood, enjoying the sounds. This event regularly features over 50 musical performances on about 3 dozen Kingfield stages.

Got a band? Follow the link and register to play! Have a nice wide front porch or a flat front yard? Follow the kink and sign up as a potential host!

Have questions? Just contact KFNA Executive Director Sarah Linnes-Robinson at sarah@kingfield.org.

35W is closing for the weekend but KFNA isn’t!

Reminder: I-35W in both directions will be closed between I-94 and Highway 62 from 10 PM Fri. April 26 – 5 AM Mon. April 29 for utility and drainage work…so you might as well plan to stay in the neighborhood and attend the KFNA Annual Election & Pizza Party on Saturday!

4-6 PM behind the Center for Performing Arts, 3754 Pleasant Ave. S.

Rain or shine! Bring the kids, but please not the dog (at least not if it is raining!) 

KFNA Annual Meeting & Pizza Party 4|27|19, 4-6 PM at the Kingfield Outdoor Oven

By

Welcome Spring and elect a new Board of Directors to your neighborhood nonprofit, the Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA,) at the Outdoor Oven! Pizza, annual organizational report, introduction of current volunteers, great community conversation, and more! Children welcome—plan to join us!

As we get excited to welcome new KFNA Board members, let’s not to forget to honor those who are staying at the helm! Drum roll for Scott Mueller who is in the middle of his 4th term as a KFNA Board Director! Scott’s a communications guy and you can always count on him to tell you exactly how to connect to KFNA on Facebook, but at heart he is a DJ which is why the sound system is in his starter pack. He is also an avid Brewers fan, as well as a fan of partnering the consumption of brewed beverages with local trivia!

Scott loves bringing people together, so it’s no surprise that the effort he’s most proud of in his work with the Kingfield Neighborhood Association is the annual KFNA Polling Party held on Election Day at MLK Park.
