Council Member Elizabeth Glidden, the Ward 8 office, and the neighborhoods of Ward 8 invite you to an open house celebration to enjoy food, fun and good company – this is a free event and all are welcome! For the past twelve years, the Ward 8 community has been at the center of incredible accomplishments contributing to the vitality and wellbeing of the Central, Bryant, Bancroft, Field-Regina-Northrop, Lyndale and Kingfield neighborhoods. With a new Council Member for Ward 8 in January 2018, new beginnings are just around the corner and our community momentum will continue. The Ward 8 office would like to thank Ward 8 residents, businesses and organizations for your commitment to community. We hope you can join us for an open house –celebrating you! [Read more…]

Kingfield is a neighborhood of Voters!

Drop by either tent on the north side of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center on Election Day. November 7th, either before or after you vote and enjoy fresh hot coffee, tasty treats, and scintillating conversation with KFNA volunteers!  Really good at scintillating conversation?  You could volunteer to staff a shift at a tent!  Really it is a great way to fuel-up, make connections, and celebrate our freedom to cast our individual vote for those people that represent us.

Join us at King Park!

• Volunteer at the Kingfield Polling Party at MLK Park on Election Day!

Want to help others remember to get out and vote?

• Participate in Doorknocking Saturdays, 1-3 PM, every Saturday until the election. Contact KFNA Board Member Dan Myers at .

Hennepin County 4-H Youth Development has partnered with the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board for three summers now, and we are ready to deepen our partnership with a school-year, community-led 4-H Club hosted at Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center in South Minneapolis. We have the strong partnership and staff to oversee it, but now we need YOU, the community, to make it happen:

Community action is required for the creation and delivery of a 4-H Youth Development Program at Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center.

Starting this fall, join Hennepin County 4-H and Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center staff in a 3-event open house series to learn all about 4-H, and what it takes from your community to build a successful and impactful program in the Kingfield Neighborhood and beyond.

Please join us for this first event! Bring the entire family and:

• Create colorful SPIN ART 
• Make a GRAPHITE CIRCUIT with just a pencil, battery, and LED
• Meet 4-H and Minneapolis Parks and Recreation STAFF
• Get involved in LEADERSHIP opportunities to sustain a successful club
• Make new friends and meet fellow COMMUNITY MEMBERS

And mark you calendars for the following open house events on December 7th, 2017 & February 8th, 2018.

 

Enjoy the beauty of fall and some hot apple cider as we celebrate National Book Month at Lakewood Cemetery! Stop by this open house style event for tours and activities for history buffs and dabblers alike―including walking tours with Hennepin History Museum guides, self-guided tours via mobile app, and trolley tours of Lakewood. You can also see Lakewood-related artifacts from the Hennepin History Museum and local history books with new titles and catalogs from the Minnesota Historical Society Press. This event is also a great chance to see the one-of-a-kind Lakewood Chapel and new award-winning Garden Mausoleum.

More information at LakewoodCemetery.org, or at Facebook.com/LakewoodCemetery .

(Yep, that means an outdoor art-filled pizza event at the wood-fired oven!)

Come join the Center for Performing Arts and its’ tenants (which include the Kingfield Neighborhood Association) for a slice, and live performances around the fire.  Visit the Facebook Event for details on performances, as they are determined!

 

Suggested donation of $10 per person. All ages welcome!

The oven will be hot, literally 800 degrees of hot, and we will be baking pizza for neighbors to sample. Live performances will occur around a bonfire throughout the evening. Pack a beverage (no bottles on site, please), and wander on down and enjoy the evening.

KFNA hosts regular oven events the 2nd weekend of each month until the snow flies, so be sure you are receiving the Kingfield weekly e-News—sign up on www.kingfield.org (right-hand side of the page)–where notices will be shared about upcoming oven dates, registration details, and the focus of each unique event. If you have questions about the oven, including how to volunteer, please feel free to contact KFNA at or 612.823.5980.
