Did you have fun at the Kingfield Polling Party Yesterday? We did!

By

2226 neighbors came out to vote at MLK Park yesterday and wowza!, was it fun  to see you all! We caught up on so much news, met so many new neighbors, and has the entire day to listen to neighborhood concerns and also plan for new projects. Thanks to the neighbors that helped staff the tents, tend the crosswalk, and provide the treats…and also to Butter Bakery Cafe for the delicious coffee, tea, and cocoa!

Please consider volunteering at the next Kingfield Polling Party at MLK Park on Tuesday November 8th. We will need even more volunteers to staff the third tent AND to keep the fire pits burning (yes, it will likely be colder that day than it was yesterday!)

You will be able to sign up to help starting in September–just watch the Kingfield eNews for the registration link! Not receiving the eNews? Well, sign up for it at www.kingfield.org!
