2024 KSANA Neighborhood Spring Clean-Up Day!

Dear Neighbors,

Join us Saturday, April 20th for our 2024 KSANA Neighborhood Spring Clean-Up Day!

  BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND, the Neighborhood JUNK DRIVE! Start sorting through your STUFF to throw out!
  We’ll have a JUNKLUGGERS container in the Balmoral Church parking lot, and KSANA neighbors can fill it up with anything you want to get rid of – for FREE. Do NOT bring hazardous materials, but almost anything is allowed. YOU bring it to the church parking lot – the Junkluggers will not pick items up at your home. Paid for by KSANA. Clean out your junk for FREE!

  As for cleaning up the rest of the neighborhood, we’re gathering volunteers to meet at 9am at the Balmoral Church parking lot for a neighborhood sweep. If you can’t make it, we would love everyone’s individual participation. Start small by picking up any trash in your yard. Ready to do more? Pick up trash in your neighbors’ yards too! You can even walk your street or cove picking up trash if you are ready to tidy up even more real estate. If you have a shovel or rake, you can use it to help clean out storm drains and curbside debris on your street to prevent water back up during heavy rains.
  Why is this important? Keeping our neighborhood clean helps keep it beautiful, and shows that we care about the environment where we live.

  Lastly, KSANA will also be hosting a food drive for Mid-South Food Bank in the Balmoral Church parking lot from 10am-1pm that day. Bring NON-PERISHABLE FOOD ITEMS to donate, CHECKS made out to Mid-South Food Bank, or CASH. If you are able, please consider giving what you can.

Saturday, April 20th Itinerary:

9:00 am: Meet at Balmoral OR clean up YOUR house and yard and storm drain anytime that day

10:00 am-1:00 pm: Food Drive for the Mid-South Food Bank

10:30 am-12:30 pm: Junk Container available


Hope you can all participate, and we look forward to seeing you then,

your KSANA Board

KSANA Holiday Drives

Dear KSANA neighbors. The neighborhood will host THREE holiday drives next Saturday December 9th, in the Balmoral Baptist Church parking lot from 9:30am-1:00pm.

1) Our annual KSANA FOOD DRIVE for the MID-SOUTH FOOD BANK. Bring non-perishable food items to donate, bring checks (made out to the Mid-South Food Bank) or cash. Remember, cash donations are as good as any food donations. Our generous neighborhood raised almost $1000 last December!

2) We are collecting TOYS FOR TOTS. This is in support for the Officer Redd Library project. Bring new, unwrapped toys for ages 1-12 and we will donate them to this ongoing drive happening through Dec. 15

3) NEW! NEIGHBORHOOD JUNK DRIVE. The Junkluggers will drop a container in the Balmoral Church parking lot, and all KSANA neighbors can fill it up with anything you want to get rid of: furniture, mattresses, metal items, bikes, appliances, carpets, rugs, sinks, bathtubs, computers & electronics, old paint cans (as long as the paint inside is dry), etc. Do NOT bring hazardous materials, but almost anything is allowed. YOU have to bring it to the church parking lot. The Junkluggers will not pick items up at your location. Paid for by KSANA. Take advantage of this opportunity to clean out your junk for FREE!

If you have any questions about these three Drives on Dec. 9, from 9:30am-1pm, call Ann Meier at 901-848-2536.

This message is a heads-up, so you can start gathering food, toys and junk to donate.

We encourage everybody to come out and participate. Let’s have a great GIVING HOLIDAY!

(And by the way don’t forget the KSANA Annual First Responders BBQ Dinner this Thursday at 6pm at Balmoral Baptist Church)
