The Kenny Neighborhood Association (KNA) Annual Meeting on April 20 was canceled due to the announcement of the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial. We have rescheduled the Charter Commission presentation from the Annual Meeting as a standalone, one- hour forum. Commissioner Greg Abbott will present information about what the Charter Commission is, how amendments are proposed and what is on the horizon for the 2021 general election ballot. The presentation will be followed by a Q & A session.

If you had already registered to attend the KNA Annual Meeting, the Zoom link you were provided is still good; you do not need to re-register. If you hadn’t already registered and would like to attend, please register at kna.link/zoom. We will send a reminder the day before to all previous and new registrants.

year end reviewKNA canceled its Annual Meeting on 4/20/21 due to the verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin being released on the same day. We felt it was important to give our Kenny neighbors a chance to watch/read news accounts, process their feelings, acknowledge past trauma that this verdict may bring up, and have the ability to join in a march/gathering if they so chose.

The administrative items from the meeting are being reported here and include:

 

  • Year-end review
  • KNA Operating Budget for 2021
  • Online Election Results

Become a smarter gardener this summer! Award-winning garden writer and photographer Gail Hudson shows you how to make some simple, small changes to grow a little more sustainably right in your own backyard and help the planet at the same time. She’ll talk about:
  • Ways to plant more sustainably
  • How to become more “water-wise”
  • “Honey, the lawn is shrinking!” Good, green reasons to reduce the size of your grass patch.
  • Cutting back on gardening with plastic (pots especially!): Can we do it?
  • And how to design a sustainable garden.
Just changing your perspective a little means the future is greener already!

Even though the pandemic prohibits us from hosting our usual Earth Day Clean-up event with activities and gathering together, our Earth still needs to be cleaned-up! The Kenny Neighborhood Community Engagement Committee is partnering with the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board to host a do-it-yourself clean-up on April 24. Stop by the Kenny Park playground by 11 a.m. to have a pre-wrapped treat, grab some supplies (bags, gloves, etc.) and pick up trash/recycling around the park, Grass Lake, schools or anywhere in the neighborhood. Please be sure to wear a mask and social distance- hopefully there will be a lot of great volunteers out there spiffing up Kenny neighborhood and cleaning our Earth for future generations.
