Kingfield Neighborhood Association

Visit Butter Bakery Café for Soup today to Celebrate Kingfield Empty Bowls!

On the burner at Butter Bakery Cafe…vegan black bean chili, lentil brown rice, and winter squash!

Bring one of your own bowls from a past Empty Bowls event to show your support (or feel free to make donation and take a new one of ours!) When you order soup at Butter Bakery today (or The Lowbrow!) they will also donate the price of your soup to support affordable housing options in our community! You can even choose to eat it at the restaurant all day today (make a reservation) or get it to-go and bring it home for the virtual community dinner tonight!

Can’t get out today but want to be part of this event? Donate directly to KFNA by texting the words ‘Affordable Housing’ to #44-321 to Support This Work in Our Community or donate through GiveMN at www.kingfield.org!

Donated funds for bowls and soup will be divided between three partners: Nicollet Square, City of Lake Community Land Trust, and KFNA, to support ongoing work like we did this past summer with the unhoused folks at MLK Park.

 

Kingfield Empty Bowls Virtual Community Dinner & Trivia Event!

RSVP here to save your household’s spot at the table for the Kingfield Empty Bowls Virtual Community Dinner & Trivia Event. Trivia will be hosted by Tane Danger and Heather Meyer, both Kingfield neighbors and members of The Theater of Public Policy! 

Set the table, ladle out the soup, and plug in your laptop to enjoy a special show about Kingfield presented by our hosts Tane and Heather. Be sure to have your cell phone handy so you can also participate in the online Kingfield-centric trivia, focused on the history of Kingfield’s residents and dwellings. Tane says, “it’s going to be a super fun, interactive online trivia event, where YOU can play with, and against!, others in the neighborhood!” 

And did we say prizes? We should have, as there will be prizes too! 

Any questions about Kingfield Empty Bowls should be directed to KFNA Executive Director Sarah Linnes-Robinson.

MN Peacebuilding Presents ‘I Am’

MN Peacebuilding’s free, family-friendly online film screening of “I Am”.  Register for the event here.
“I AM is an utterly engaging and entertaining non-fiction film that poses two practical and provocative questions: what’s wrong with our world, and what can we do to make it better?   The filmmaker behind the inquiry is Tom Shadyac, one of Hollywood’s leading comedy practitioners and the creative force behind such blockbusters as “Ace Ventura,” “Liar Liar,” “The Nutty Professor,” and “Bruce Almighty.”   However, in I AM, Shadyac steps in front of the camera to recount what happened to him after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged with a new sense of purpose, determined to share his own awakening to his prior life of excess and greed, and to investigate how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the way we live and walk in the world.” — http://www.iamthedoc.com/thefilm/
