Events
King Farm Neighbors Village (KFNV) ended December with the following events this past week: its holiday event, Hors d’oeuvres with a Side of Sweaters on Friday, December 13th, Games Night on the following Tuesday, and The KFNV Friends luncheon at Botanero Restaurant yesterday. All events were well-attended with a record attendance at the holiday event. What a spectacular way to end the year!
Starting the New Year, specifically the first two weeks of 2025, the KFNV has the following two events scheduled:
- The KFNV Walking Club continues its daily jaunts Monday-Thursday at 4 pm, except in the case of inclement weather. The group meets in the park across from The Fontina Grille.
- On Thursday, January 2, 2025 from 2:00-3:00 pm, the KFNV Movie Club will meet to review the movie, Women Talking, a 2022 drama based on the Canadian 2018 novel of the same name by Miriam Toews. The novel and film tell the story of the mass serial rapes by a gang of men in the Bolivian Mennonite settlement of Manitoba Colony.
- On Thursday, January 9, 2025 from 12:30 -2:00 pm, KFNV Book Club participants will discuss the Pulitzer prize-winning novel, The Night Watchman, by Louise Erdrich. Based on events from the life of Erdrich’s grandfather, The Night Watchman is about tribal chairman Thomas Wazhashk’s efforts to fight against the push for Indian termination in 1953, which would have resulted in the dispossession of Native American lands.
Services
The KFNV continues to support King Farm residents with its community services: transportation to appointments, simple household tasks, friendly phone calls/texts, and friendly visits. Please feel free to avail yourself of all of the community services that the KFNV offers. If you are in doubt about whether a task could be performed by one of the KFNV volunteers, go ahead and fill out the service form on the KFNV website. Our Operations Team will get back to you to determine if the task is under our umbrella of tasks. Also, please note that services are open to KFNV members only; however, membership is free and an easy process. See below on how to contact the KFNV to schedule any of the services or with any questions that you may have about the services as well as how to become a KFNV member.
Volunteers
The KFNV is always looking for “Neighbors helping Neighbors” to provide community services to its members like drives to appointments, friendly visits and phone calls, and help with simple household tasks. Volunteers are an important part of the KFNV. Please feel free to contact the Operations Coordinator for any questions you may have about becoming a KFNV volunteer by calling (301) 799-8104, emailing to kfnvinfo@gmail.com , or viewing the KFNV website at www.kfnv.org for information as well as an on-line form to fill out to become a KFNV volunteer. The KFNV thanks you for your consideration in becoming a KFNV volunteer.
Contacting the KFNV
For most of the KFNV monthly events as well as the services, membership is required; but membership is as easy as filling out an on-line or mail-in form with residency in the King Farm community being the only membership requirement. We are a multi-generational Village; therefore, the KFNV welcomes all adult King Farm residents of all ages.
Although there is no fee to become a KFNV member, the KFNV does, however, accept and welcome donations; for these donations help defray the cost of KFNV services and events. The end of year is a perfect time to donate to the KFNV as contributions to the KFNV are charitable contributions per the IRS.
For information on how to register for any of the above events, to request a service or a ride, to become a KFNV member or a volunteer, or to make a donation, please contact the Operations Coordinator by calling (301) 799-8104 to leave a voicemail, emailing the KFNV at kfnvinfo@gmail.com , or viewing the KFNV website at www.kfnv.org.
Holiday Greetings
The KFNV Board of Directors wishes the King Farm community a holiday season full of light and love and a new year that lives up to the promise of “peace on earth and goodwill to all.”
