Thursday January 23, 4-6 PM, 210 West 46th Street
In August 2017, the City of Lakes Community Land Trust (CLCLT) acquired 210 West 46th Street. The foreclosed property had been vacant for several months; however, the CLCLT saw the opportunity to create, in partnership with Kingfield Neighborhood Association, a long-term affordable home in the southwest area of Minneapolis, which is increasingly difficult to achieve. Through the CLCLT, the home will be sold to an owner-occupant earning 80% or less of Area Median Income and will remain affordable long-term through the community land trust resale process.
Please join us at the open house on Thursday, January 23 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Monday December 30, 1-7 PM
Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 4100 Lyndale
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.
Sunday, December 8, 3:00 to 4:30 PM
at Judson Memorial Baptist Church, 4101 Harriet Ave
Also COME EARLY at 2:45 to hear the special gathering music by the Minnesota Jazz Orchestra’s SUPER SAX ENSEMBLE.
Looking to meet your neighbors and perhaps build new connections? Or maybe just a chance to let your holiday spirits soar? Just want to do “something fun” with no tedious prep? Want to recall old holiday memories or create new ones? How about the simple joy of making music with your voice or instruments and with your neighbors?
Then celebrate the music of the holidays. We’ll have songbooks and simple instrumental books and small percussion instruments. The party is free and so are the cookies and everyone is welcome. Still, we’ll happily accept donations for YOUTHLINK (www.youthlinkmn.org) our local friends who provide services to homeless youth.
So bring your instrument, your voice, your neighbors for this annual tradition in the beautiful sanctuary of historic Judson Church www.judsonchurhc.org 612-822-0649.
There are so many things to love about Kingfield…a great park, a hopping weekly market, delicious homegrown food cooked up by local restaurant owners, plus (and here is where KFNA comes in!) a jumble of engaging and creative events, meetings, and activities designed to keep you informed and get you engaged with your community.
And this “community” isn’t something that just happens, it is something that Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA), your local nonprofit, works really hard to create. Why? Because we believe that now, more than ever, taking time to grow connections and foster community can make a foundational change to not only our neighborhood but also in our city and country. Also, by building a welcoming, inclusive, open and caring community we will have a positive impact on our current and future neighbors.
Learn more about what KFNA does and consider making a donation to your local nonprofit organization here. Thank you!
