Community Information

The City of Rockville’s Department of Public Works (Department) is designing a new access road to the Rockville Senior Center parking lot from the intersection of West Gude and Piccard Drives and modifications to the traffic signal in order to add this new leg to the intersection. This new access road will especially benefit all residents who live west of Gude Drive, including King Farmers. 

This project is still in the early stages, but one public hearing was already held. Please see https://www.rockvillemd.gov/DocumentCenter/View/57050/Senior-Center-Entrance-Public-Meeting-Presentation?bidId= for the hearing presentation.  At this hearing, the Department asked that interested citizens submit comments about the project by December 16, 2024 or earlier.  Comments can be addressed to mayorcouncil@rockvillemd.gov.  

The King Farm Neighbors Village (KFNV) thanks the King Farm community for its cooperation in advocating for a project that will benefit not only King Farmers, but the whole Rockville community.

Events

Today is the KFNV members-only holiday event at the King Farm Community Center from 6:30-8:30. Members will enjoy appetizers and drinks while donning their best holiday sweaters.  This event is a small token of the KFNV’s appreciation for our members’ support of our organization during this past year. The KFNV hopes to see many members at our holiday event: Hors d’oeuvres with a Side of Sweaters.

Other KFNV events to end December are:

1.      On Tuesday, December 17, 2024 from 7:00-9:00 pm, the KFNV will host its monthly Games Night. Come out and enjoy some competitive fun with your King Farm neighbors. You do not have to be a member of the KFNV to join in the fun. The KFNV will provide various board games, but you are welcome to bring your own game(s) as well. In addition, please bring your own snacks and drinks to nibble on and sip as you play your favorite board game.

• On Thursday, December 19, 2024 from 1:00-3:00 pm, the KFNV Friends will host its monthly luncheon at Botanero Restaurant, 800 Pleasant Dr #160, Rockville, MD 20850. You do not have to be a KFNV member to participate in this luncheon; although this is a KFNV Friends Club meetup and everyone is responsible to pay for their own lunch. Come out and enjoy a pre-holiday luncheon with your King Farm friends.

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, there is no age requirement to join the KFNV. The KFNV welcomes all 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.
