Events
The King Farm Neighbors Village (KFNV) started March with its monthly Movie Club yesterday. The KFNV Movie Club members reviewed the biographical war drama, Lee, starring Kate Winslet as Elizabeth “Lee” Miller, a war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II (WWII). Ms. Miller and her colleague David Scherman (played by Andy Samberg) took the first photographs of the atrocities at Buchenwald and Dachau. Movie club participants agreed the film acted as a visual portrayal of WWII, especially the horror of the concentration camps.
Other activities scheduled for March are:
- 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 Tuesday, March 11, 2025, the KFNV will host Games Night from 7:00-9:00 pm in the Community Center. 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, March 13, 2025 from 12:30-2:00 pm in the King Farm Community Center, KFNV Book Club members will discuss the novel, Normal People by Sally Rooney. People Magazine describes the novel as “a stunning novel about the transformative power of relationships.” Normal People has been adapted into an Emmy-nominated Hulu series.
- On Thursday, March 20, 2025 from 1:00-3:00 pm, the KFNV Friends will meet for lunch at Nagoya Sushi Restaurant, 402 King Farm Boulevard. You do not have to be a KFNV member to participate in this luncheon. This is a KFNV Friends Club meetup, and everyone is responsible to pay for their own lunch. Come out and enjoy lunch and perhaps meet some new King Farmers.
- On Tuesday, March 25, 2025 from 7:00-9:00 pm, the KFNV will hold its Annual Meeting in the King Farm Community Center. The KFNV Board of Directors invites all members of the King Farm Community and hopes to see many King Farmers at this annual meeting. It’s a perfect opportunity to learn what the KFNV has been doing this last year and what its plans are for the future.
- On Wednesday, March 26, 2025, Coffee and Conversation participants will meet in the King Farm Community Center from 10:00-11:30 am to discuss the topic: What are or were your favorite learning experiences?
- On Thursday, March 27, 2025 from 4:00-5:00 pm in the King Farm Community Center, the KFNV will host its monthly highlight event: Bank Fraud and Scams—How to Avoid Them. Joseph Hartlove and Lydia Faleye of Truist Bank will discuss what these scams are and ways to protect your on-line identity and financial resources from these schemes.
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.
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.
