KSANA ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE / TOY DRIVE / JUNK DRIVE
KSANA will have a table set up in the parking lot of the Balmoral Baptist Church at 10:00 am:
1) Our Annual KSANA Food Drive for the Mid-South Food Bank will be set up from 10:00am-12:00 pm. Bring non-perishable food items to donate, or (better yet) bring cash or checks made out to the Mid-South Food Bank. Our neighborhood usually raises about $800!
2) The Toys for Tots Drive is in honor of Officer Geoffrey Redd. Bring new, unwrapped toys for ages 1-12, and we will donate them to this ongoing drive sponsored by the police.
3) Back again! the KSANA neighborhood Junk Drive. The Junk LLamas will drop a container in the Balmoral Church parking lot from 10:00 am-12:00 pm. KSANA neighbors can fill it up with furniture, mattresses, metal items like bikes & appliances, carpets, rugs, sinks, bathtubs, computers, electronics, glass, lumber and old paint cans (as long as the paint inside is dry). Do NOT bring hazardous materials. YOU have to bring it to the church parking lot. The Junk Llamas will not pick items up at your house. Paid for by KSANA! Take advantage of this opportunity to clean out your junk for FREE!
If you have any questions about the FOOD / TOY / JUNK Drives on Sat. Dec. 13 from 10:00 am-12:00 pm, call Ann Meier at 901-848-2536. Start gathering Food, Toys and Junk to donate TODAY.

Balmoral Baptist Church events
Neighbors,
In continuing our long friendship with the folks at our neighborhood Balmoral Baptist Church, we have agreed to help them from time to time by sending some of their notices out to our neighbors. Here are a couple of their recent announcements, including an upcoming Trunk or Treat event.
Your KSANA board
Don Gamblin
It is with great sadness that we recently learned of the passing of Don Gamblin. Don was a great friend and neighbor. He supported our Association many times over the past few years, and he will be missed. Our hearts go out to his family and loved ones.

We hope to see you there.

KSANA Quarterly Neighborhood Meeting
Neighbors,
Please come out and join us this Thursday, March 20th, at 6:30pm, for our quarterly KSANA neighborhood meeting at Balmoral Baptist Church. We would like to welcome Mr. Melvin Burgess, Shelby County Assessor of Property, as our guest for the evening. Come join your neighbors for some fellowship and key learning about how our property appraisals impact our county and city taxes.
Hope to see you there,
Your KSANA Board of Directors
Remembering Nancy Blanks
Neighbors,
It is with much sadness that we pass along the news that our longtime friend and neighbor Nancy Blanks has recently passed away. Our hearts go out to her husband Henry, their son Keith, and their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be missed.
KSANA Day at Ridgeway Station
Hello neighbors,
Our KSANA board members had a great day with the officers of Ridgeway Station on Friday, November 22nd. They handed out 150 Thanksgiving gift bags as a “thank you” for their support. The officers were very appreciative, and now they all know that KSANA is the crown jewel of Ward 926. As a special treat they got to experience something called Code Zero, when 190 Shelby County deputies and TN State Troopers converge on the area to round up the bad guys. Great job to everyone for a very successful event.
KSANA Food, Toy, Junk Drive!
All KSANA neighbors, mark your calendars for Saturday, December 7th (the Saturday after Thanksgiving weekend).
