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).

 

KFNA Board Election this Saturday 4|27|19, 4-6 PM at the 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!

We are excited for new leadership, but thankful for those continuing their terms on the Kingfield Neighborhood Association board and super happy that Lisa Skrzeczkoski-Bzdusek has another year to serve!

As a public defender during the day Lisa stands up for the under-represented, and in her work with KFNA she likes to plan fun family activities that engage kids of all ages. She has been a leader of the both the Family Engagement Team and their First Saturday events as well as the MLK 4-H Council (hence a double meaning of the scales in her starter pack, balancing her career and her home life, as well as her volunteer commitments!)

Originally from Wisconsin, she also likes hiking, skiing, and swimming and has swam the Point La Point multiple times, be sure to ask her about open water swims in 60 degree water. She also enjoys good ol’ fashioned paperbacks with happy endings, hence Princess Bride in her starter pack. What’s a more feel good novel than that?!

Kingfield Annual Garage/Yard/Rummage Sale 2019?

By

Do you love a great garage sale? Then we would love to have you help us plan this year’s event! Without volunteers, this event may not be possible…

Each year since 1998, generally on the third Saturday in May, Kingfield comes together to encourage folks to visit our neighborhood and help us recycle once-loved items. It is a perfect activity for those wanting to downsize, or for anyone caring about reusing and re-purposing stuff (Marie Kondo, anyone?!?), or wanting to turn unwanted treasures into a few extra dollars!

Please send an e-mail to info@kingfield.org to join the team that could make this year’s sale happen!  Your help would include creating applications, collecting information for maps, making flyers, distributing packets and signs, processing payments, and picking-up signs after the event. It takes about 3-5 people, meeting weekly for about 2 hours, beginning just as soon as we have interested helpers!

Be a Kingfield Get-Out-The-Vote Block or Building Captain!  

By

The Block Captain program is a new effort by KFNA to make sure everyone’s voice is heard in November. We’re looking for one Block Captain per block to make sure everyone on their block is registered, talk to them about early voting options, and encourage them to vote in the days leading up to Election Day. Twenty-five neighbors have already stepped up to this task, which is great, but with 100 blocks in Kingfield it is possible that they your block doesn’t have a contact yet and THAT means we may still need YOU to talk with your block neighbors and make sure they have a plan to get to the polls on November 6th.

KFNA will provide voter registration materials, and we’ll also be holding a couple of training events. Interested? Sign up here: https://goo.gl/forms/CAaQrskdrt7YUeKA3
