So What’s It Like to Serve on the KFNA Board?

By

Join a handful of Kingfield Neighborhood Association Board Members at The Lowbrow tonight at their great late-night happy hour and find out!  *swimsuits not required!

Talk to real people who volunteer their time working to improve their community and build connections between neighbors, and between Kingfield and the City! Learn about the upcoming annual meeting/pizza party next Saturday April 27th and how the casual nomination and voting process will occur.

Drop in between 8:30-9:30 PM tonight and look for the noisiest table…or better yet, let us know you are coming so we can cobble together enough tables for the group. Just email sarah@kingfield.org if you plan to attend (or if you can’t attend, but want to discuss these relevant neighborhood topics with someone!)

*Photo note: The KFNA Board sure knows how to have fun–members of the 2015-16 board launched the “Bring on the Heat” campaign!

Dining Out for Life Coming April 25!

By

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner options at various local restaurants including:

Butter, Blackbird, Café Ena, Curran’s, Kyatchi, The Lowbrow, Nighthawks, Victor’s 1959

Dining Out For Life® is an annual fundraising event involving the generous participation of volunteers, corporate sponsors and restaurants. The concept is simple: Restaurants donate a generous percent of their sales to a local HIV service organization, and the local HIV service organization fills participating restaurants with diners.

New LED Street Lights a Bit Too Bright?

By

The lights being replaced do not belong to the City they belong to Xcel. Call Xcel Energy Customer Care at 1-800-895-4999 or by email visit  (if you go to the website continue as if it is an outage and leave comments in the box at the bottom describing the issue with a new bulb on a pole.)

They will send a team out within 3-5 business days to try and solve the issue including changing the angle or adding a shield. I would recommend that you request a shield so the bulb doesn’t get tilted and go across the street into your neighbor’s home.

You can also include your phone number in the comments and ask that the outdoor team contact you to discuss solutions & notify you when the work is done. this would be important, especially if after they do the work you can’t see a difference.

Kingfield Annual Garage/Yard/Rummage Sale 2019?

By

Do you love a great garage sale? Then we would love to have you help us plan this year’s event! Without volunteers, this event may not be possible…

Each year since 1998, generally on the third Saturday in May, Kingfield comes together to encourage folks to visit our neighborhood and help us recycle once-loved items. It is a perfect activity for those wanting to downsize, or for anyone caring about reusing and re-purposing stuff (Marie Kondo, anyone?!?), or wanting to turn unwanted treasures into a few extra dollars!

Please send an e-mail to info@kingfield.org to join the team that could make this year’s sale happen!  Your help would include creating applications, collecting information for maps, making flyers, distributing packets and signs, processing payments, and picking-up signs after the event. It takes about 3-5 people, meeting weekly for about 2 hours, beginning just as soon as we have interested helpers!
