Seeking Volunteers for “We Are Kingfield/We Vote Sign Preparation”

It is time to get our yard signs ready!

(Note, don’t get confused by this date on the image! This photo was taken at last year’s event as this year’s election day is November 2nd!)

We need a dozen folks to clean and attach new date stickers, and a few people with large vehicles to help transport signs to the KFNA office.  Sign haulers could join closer to 11:30 and all should be done by 12:30 PM.

Please review the available slots and sign up here!

 

At the MLK Donation Garden, 4055 Nicollet, north side of building

Harvesting is happening in earnest!  Join us to pick bush beans and thyme, as well as learn more about the garden. Join KFNA garden volunteers each week to learn something new and connect in your community.

Join the 3rd Community Engagement Session on Thursday July 8.

The Theme for this weeks Community Sessions for the Lake and Nicollet, Wells Fargo redevelopment is: Culture and Community: How we use space. We will share examples of the locations around the world where public space is celebrated and ask them to share the ways that they use public space. This will be led by a diverse group of community advocates and activists.

Please Register for the IN-PERSON session here

We will also make the event available online at ZOOM. Please register for the ONLINE edition of the July 8 meeting here

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Food will be served following COVID Safe protocols and will be available beginning at 6:00 pm. Food will be provided by Caano Kitchen and Zamaya Delicious

Please email with questions or concerns.

SO many things to LOVE about the new location! And still SO many things to learn.

As we all adjust please note:

• No parking in the bike lane along 40^th
• No eating or drinking in the market so plan to go for a “picnic” in the greater park area.
• No dogs allowed in the market area.
• No public restroom access until the wading pool is open for the season.

Lots of no’s but also many yeses, like YES we need volunteers!  Contact if you want to help!
