The latest edition of the paper, jam packed with winter (and few peaks at spring) happenings is now online.
Be sure to read it with your calendar next to you so you can reserve the date for a bunch of favorite community happenings (Kingfield Empty Bowls, Feb. 6 and KFNA Annual Meeting, Mar. 18) as well as some fun new traditions (Winter FunFest Sledding, Jan. 25 and Community Maple Sap Tap and Pancake Breakfast, March 23)!
The paper version will be arriving at homes this week, thanks to our local bulk mail center and amazing postal carriers. As well to our production team, Kingfield neighbors Martha Brennecke (editor) and Brenda Johnson (graphic design). Thanks to all that put in the effort to get our news out to the entire community. Speaking of which, we are looking for people interested in writing stories and taking photos for this super-local quarterly news publication…if this is you please contact info@kingfield.org.

There is a constant need for blood donations, but even more so during the holidays. However, since this time of year is so busy, fewer people end up donating which creates an even greater blood shortage. This drive is being organized by a Kingfield High School Senior, Adelaide Granse, who besides having an interest in medicine as a career, would like to fill a need and encourage people to do something they might not have previously considered.
People ages 16 and up can donate as long as they have a valid form of identification. Those under 18 will also need parental permission, however. All eligible individuals are wanted. People will only be turned away if Red Cross determines that a person is not in their prime condition the day of donation (i.e. they are sick or their heart rate is too fast).
People who would like more information or would like to register should contact Adelaide Granse at addie@loonmagnet.net.
