Events
King Farm Neighbors Village (KFNV) ended May with three events during this last week: the new Metro Club’s inaugural trip to the National Building Museum, Coffee and Conversation, and yesterday a tour of the Montgomery County Recycling Center. Likewise, the month of June is jam-packed with KFNV events and activities.
- The KFNV Walking Club continues its daily jaunts on 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, June 5, 2025 from 2:00-3:00 pm, the KFNV Movie Club members will meet in the King Farm Community Center to review the 2023 film, Knox Goes Away, starring and directed by Michael Keaton. This crime thriller (known in some markets as A Killer’s Memory or Assassin’s Plan) follows a contract killer with a rapidly evolving form of dementia who vows to spend his final days attempting to find redemption by saving the life of his estranged adult son. As one viewer stated, this is a smart film that requires attention while viewing it.
- The KFNV Book Club will meet on June 12, 2025 from 12:30-2:00 pm in the King Farm Community Center to discuss the novel, The Measureby Nikki Erlick. The Measure is a fantasy/science fiction novel that explores the question of what would you do if you knew exactly how long you would live. Many reviewers felt the novel was full of many interesting topics for book club discussions.
- On Thursday, June 19, 2025 from 1:00-3:00 pm, The KFNV Friends Group will meet for lunch at a place to be determined. When the restaurant location is confirmed, it will be posted on the KFNV website (www.kfnv.org) under the Events tab and in the KFNV information that is part of the King Farm Friday Email Blast.
- On Wednesday, June 25, 2025 from 10:00-11:30 am, Coffee and Conversation participants will meet in the King Farm Community center to discuss the topic: What are your favorite summertime travel memories?
