Kingfield Neighborhood Association

Dear Kingfield, how do we love you? Let us count the ways!—

By

It’s Give to Max Day Thursday November 14, so we Ask that You Consider Donating to KFNA, Your Most Local Nonprofit!

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!

KFNA Annual Meeting & Pizza Party 4|27|19, 4-6 PM at the Kingfield 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!

As we get excited to welcome new KFNA Board members, let’s not to forget to honor those who are staying at the helm! Drum roll for Scott Mueller who is in the middle of his 4th term as a KFNA Board Director! Scott’s a communications guy and you can always count on him to tell you exactly how to connect to KFNA on Facebook, but at heart he is a DJ which is why the sound system is in his starter pack. He is also an avid Brewers fan, as well as a fan of partnering the consumption of brewed beverages with local trivia!

Scott loves bringing people together, so it’s no surprise that the effort he’s most proud of in his work with the Kingfield Neighborhood Association is the annual KFNA Polling Party held on Election Day at MLK Park.

Four Easy Actions to take NOW to help Get Out the Vote in Kingfield!

By

1:

Get your We Are Kingfield  / We Vote At MLK Park yard signs!  

Have you seen them popping up all over Kingfield? Well, there is still time for you to get yours! It’s simple! A volunteer will place the sign in your yard in October, and then within a week after the election, a volunteer will retrieve it for re-use in 2020.  Request your sign(s) here

2:

Sign up to be a KFNA Get-Out-The-Vote Block or Building Captain! 

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 before Election Day. KFNA will provide voter registration materials, and we’ll also be holding a couple of training events.  Interested? Sign up here
