Kingfield Neighborhood Association is working on a number of strategies to increase voter turnout in our neighborhood. We have out Yard Sign campaign going, and we have the same sign in a poster format. We are seeking landlords or renters who are willing to put a poster up in their building, possibly over the mailboxes or near the front and back entry so other tenants can see it. If you are interested in getting signs for your property please email sarah@kingfield.org. If you want a Yard Sign, you can sign up here!
Woodshed Build at the Kingfield Outdoor Oven
Hello, I am a Boy Scout working on my Eagle Scout project in your neighborhood. I am in need of volunteers to help construct a woodshed for the Kingfield outdoor bread oven.
Date: Sept 23. 10 AM- completed (mid-afternoon)
Location: 3754 Pleasant Ave S. (behind the Center for Performing Arts)
Our first date to set up the foundation went swimmingly thanks to the volunteers who attended. The next step requires more volunteers so… if you are available on the 23rd of September please contact me and come help to construct this woodshed. We will be building most of the day, so please feel free to stop in for an hour or two. If you let me know in advance when you are coming I can plan the workload better.
If you would like to get more details shoot me an email at Oskar.rudolf@hotmail.com.
Thanks!
