January 25th, 10 AM – 12 PM
Sledding hill to the south of MLK Park Rec Center
Come join the KFNA Youth & Family Event Team for sledding and building/painting creations with the snow. Don’t let the cold keep you away—we’ll have hot chocolate to keep us warm.
Contact Lisa Skrzeczkoski-Bzdusek at Lisa@kingfield.org to help, or just show up and sled!
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.
Judges needed on March 3, August 11, and November 3, 2020. Paid positions, and paid training!
The City of Minneapolis has been working to get individuals registered as election judges so they can be trained in late January and be ready for the March 3rd Presidential Primary.
If you are interested in being an election judge register directly with the City at this link: http://vote.minneapolismn.gov/judges/APPLICATION. There you will give them your name and contact info, tell them if you want to volunteer your time or be paid ($17.15 per hour), and inform them if you want to work a full day or a half day. The City needs people of all races, languages, political parties, and areas of the City to serve as judges so please consider signing up to work.
Remember when they ask this: How did you hear about this opportunity? Answer Kingfield Neighborhood Association–CORE and KFNA will receive a financial stipend for your service.
2020 is already roaring down our throats and we all need to be about the work of upholding fair and impartial elections—so thank you to those of you willing to accept this responsibility and fill out your form today!
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!
