David Robbins, KFNA Board of Directors since 2019.
David says, “I am excited to continue working on KFNA’s outreach initiatives. I also look forward to working on the Blaisdell/First Avenue Bike Corridor project.”
Join David working on these projects and on the KFNA Board of Directors by submitting your nomination here, by March 10th. Online voting for the Board begins March 11 and carries through the annual meeting which will be held on March 18, beginning at 5:30 PM at MLK Park.
The KFNA Board of Directors is made up of people who live or work in the neighborhood or are business or property owners. There are 13 voting seats on the board and 3 non-voting seats. KFNA works to support and promote the common good and welfare of the Kingfield neighborhood. The KFNA Board demonstrates and encourages neighborhood leadership, provides a forum for community participation, and a structure to promote the vision and aspiration of the neighborhood.
The 2020 Annual Meeting & Board Election will be held on Wednesday, March 18, 5:30-8 PM at MLK Park, 4055 Nicollet. Dinner and childcare is provided! Learn more about the process of being elected to the KFNA Board below, and take a look at the Self-Nomination Form.
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 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.

Due to a forecast including likely rain and thunderstorms throughout virtually all of today we will be going with our RAIN PLAN! Join us at Sabathani Community Center, 2nd floor, 310 E 38th Street, located 1 block east of the bridge on 38th St.
Don’t fret, other than a change of locale the event will be just as lively and engaging as it was last year! And all the food vendors are still on board so get excited for a cross cultural feast from local restaurants, eateries, and grocers that is delicious and abundant as well as appropriate from vegan to carnivore and considerate of various allergies and dietary concerns.
For more information, including specific food vendors and menu items, visit the Facebook event.
