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.

All KSANA neighbors, mark your calendars for Saturday, December 7th (the Saturday after Thanksgiving weekend).

KSANA’S ANNUAL

FOOD, TOY, JUNK DRIVE!

KSANA will have a table set up in the parking lot of the Balmoral Baptist Church, and we will be hosting THREE simultaneous drives:

1) Our annual KSANA FOOD DRIVE for the Mid-South Food Bank will be set up from 9:30 am – 1:00 pm. Bring non-perishable food items to donate, or bring cash or checks (made out to the Mid-South Food Bank). Our neighborhood usually raises about $800-1000!

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! Our 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 and 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 Saturday, December 7th from 9:30 am-1:00 pm, call Ann Meier at 901-848-2536. Many of our KSANA board members will be able to accept donations early, for anyone heading out to the St. Jude Marathon that morning. Please go ahead and start gathering your Food, Toys and Junk to donate.

Everybody participate, and let’s have a great neighborhood-giving holiday!

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
