Kingfield Neighborhood Association Annual POTLUCK and Board Election

The Aliveness Project 2nd Floor Community Room (note location change from previously published info)

The annual KFNA board elections are approaching, and on Wednesday, February 22nd, nominations for board members will be taken from the floor at the meeting. Come take a chance that what is available will be good and acceptable! For more information in the weeks leading up to this meeting, please contact KFNA Executive Director Sarah Linnes-Robinson at or 612.823.5980.

Some folks have already decided they want to run for the board of Directors: read their Bios at the FB event page. Also, all Kingfield neighbors will be asked to vote on amending the KFNA by-laws, but most importantly, the KFNA annual meeting is a time for neighbors to come together and celebrate Kingfield!

Please bring a dish to share! The Aliveness Project is handicapped accessible, and kids are welcome!

…. A Director appointed to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the remainder of the unexpired term of his or her predecessor and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified or may be appointed to serve a 2nd year if the term remaining is shorter than six (6) months.

Kingfield Empty Bowls: This is What Community Looks Like!

Let us know you are coming (so we can bake enough cake!) Visit, Join, and Share the Facebook Event!

On Thursday, February 9th, Kingfield will host the sixth annual Kingfield Empty Bowls! Empty Bowls is a single day event that combines art, food, local businesses, nonprofits, and lots and lots of neighbors raising awareness and funds to combat hunger in our neighborhood. Your support of this project will again benefit Nicollet Square, a project of Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative, an organization that provides affordable housing and a supportive environment for young adults who have experienced homelessness or have been in the foster care system. Last year we were able to donate over $10,000 to Nicollet Square through this single evening event! [Read more…]
