LETTER FROM THE KP PRESIDENT
Happy New Year everyone! The Kingspoint Club has hit the ground running this year with a very successful Seafood Feast on the 18th and annual stockholders meeting on the 21st. The seafood feast was extremely well received and should be the first of a new annual tradition. Big thanks to Eric Hilton and the volunteers who helped him envision and prepare the event! At the stockholders meeting, we had a successful quorum who voted to approve the 2020 operating budget and 2020 Board of Directors. We would like to give sincere thanks to Greg Henderson, Sean Sparkman, and Larry Henry who wrapped up their roles on the Board. They each donated tremendous time and energy in recent years to ensuring we have a thriving Club and Kingspoint community. Thank you!! The following are the 2020 Kingspoint Club Board members: • Co-presidents: Sarah Huber and J.D. Reeves • Secretary: Norman Elton • Treasurer: Chris Tucker • Membership: Gina Flango • Facilities: Dave Stanhope • Clubhouse coordinator: Ruth Ann Redbird Please know that we have several exciting social events coming up this spring. Not only will we have another Super Bowl Party on February 2nd, but we are already planning upcoming events such as the annual Easter egg hunt, Memorial Day picnic, and possible June Concert on the Green. As always, the Board is open to additional suggestions of ways we could get together and socialize as a club. We appreciate all of your support and look forward to seeing each of you in 2020!

Kingspoint Neighbors Helping Neighbors Program Since the original “Neighbor to Neighbor” program was started in 2010, the program has lost many original members and organizers. The KP Women’s Club has recently focused on how we might kick start a less complex effort to help others in our neighborhood, as needed. The Women’s Club discussed spearheading a program to support our neighbors who might be in need of assistance and matching those needs to a volunteer. While Kingspoint is an exceptionally friendly and supportive community, this effort is designed to build on this culture and to ensure that no one’s needs are overlooked.
This might include such services as:
• Picking up groceries and sundries
• Staying with a loved one as a companion so the caregiver can leave for appointments or meetings. This might include a disabled child or adult.
• Phone calls to check-in to be sure all is OK
• Transportation to doctor appointments or other ventures
• Jump a battery or suggest various other service providers (a plumber or electrician)
If you are interested in participating in this effort by volunteering, please email Denise Koch [email protected] or call 757-870-
0900
If you are interested in getting assistance in any of these areas, please email Denise Koch [email protected] or call 757-870-0900
In addition, a list of resources for finding such services from other places is being compiled, as well as web sites and phone numbers for
ordering or delivered food & groceries.
These include:
• Faith in Action
• Meals on Wheels
• Grocery ordering/delivery options
• Prepared food delivery options (restaurants, etc.)
• Riverside “Choose Home”
• Home Instead caregivers
• Comfort Keepers caregivers
• Private caregivers
As some residents in need may be hesitant to reach out for help, it is suggested that neighbors be alert to such situations and be proactive by
contacting someone whom they think might need assistance. If they do, either person can then coordinate with Denise Koch to get paired with someone who can offer the necessary service.

FACEBOOK PAGE Kingspoint neighborhood has its own Facebook page to add info, photos, items for sale, invite neighbors to a last minute movie or bbq, post last minute updates for swim meets, cancellations, etc. This page is a "Closed Group", so you will have to "request" to be added (this prevents just anyone from joining the group and posting spam). But all residents are encouraged to request an invite!
Here is how you do this:
Type in the following URL address https://www.facebook.com/groups/2118520156 32122/ It will say it's a closed group, and then in the upper right corner, under the photo, you click on ‘JOIN GROUP’. The Admin for the group will approve all KP residents!
LITTLE DOLPHINS Looking to connect with other parents in the neighborhood? Consider joining the “Little Dolphins” Facebook page. It’s a network of parents in the neighborhood with kids ranging from babies to teenagers. (Just search for "Little Dolphins Kingspoint" on Facebook). It’s a nice way to meet parents in the neighborhood with similarly aged kids. If you aren’t on Facebook, or if you are having problems joining the group, email Tracy Sohoni, [email protected]

Kingspoint Neighborhood Association News I hope you and your family enjoyed the beautiful holiday decorations throughout Kingspoint as much as we did this year. Many thanks to everyone who brought light into the winter darkness and shared your festive spirit with neighbors throughout the holidays.
Yuko Sato constructed the stunning evergreen holiday arrangements on our sign again this year. We all appreciate her talents and willingness to continue this beautiful Kingspoint tradition. Many thanks also to those families who shared evergreens from their gardens, to Pinkie Ford for providing space to construct the arrangements, and to Mitch and Dorsey Kappesser for their assistance in transporting the arrangements and placing them on our Kingspoint sign. We all enjoyed the beauty
resulting from this terrific teamwork!
There are a few packs of notecards, with a photo of our 2019 entrance decorations, available for those who may still want some. Please contact me if you are interested.
Although we’ve enjoyed a mild January, long-time Williamsburg residents know that snowy weather may still find us in February or March. We request everyone's cooperation in keeping Kingspoint streets free of parked cars when it snows. We always hope that VDOT will spread sand and plow our community, and they will do a better job for us all if they don’t have to work around parked cars.
Kenita Hill is finishing up revisions to our 2020 Kingspoint Neighborhood Directory, which we plan to distribute to every home by late February. Please look over your own listing in the 2019 Directory and contact her by February 8 with any corrections to your personal information.
We publish the Directory in hard copy, and distribute only to neighborhood residents, to protect neighbors' privacy. We will publish neighborhood maps again this year.
We always welcome new volunteers. If you have time to share,
please reach out to me, or any member of the KPNA Board, and tell us how you would like to help. We have several volunteer positions to fill in the coming months.
Please visit our KPNA website for the January Plant of the Month, news and useful community links, regular updates and a link to the digital Crier.
Best wishes to all for a happy and joyous new year, from your Kingspoint Neighborhood Association!

New Neighbors, Welcome!
Several new families have moved into Kingspoint in recent weeks.
Tripp and Stephanie White recently moved to Williamsburg from San Diego, CA. Stephanie grew up in Williamsburg and graduated from Auburn University. Tripp is from Atlanta, GA and graduated from Ole Miss. Tripp and Stephanie met in Nashville, TN in 2012 and have been married for 3 years. They have a Great Dane named Moose and Golden Retriever named Stella. The two moved to the area due to Tripp’s job with Branscome. Stephanie is soon to graduate with her PhD in Clinical Counseling and is a therapist at Williamsburg Counseling. Tripp and Stephanie have settled into their new home at 101 Wakerobin Road.
Jay and Joan Feldman are still moving into their new home at 101 Northpoint Drive. Jay and Joan are moving to Williamsburg after residing in Florida for the last 24 years. Jay is in Commercial HVAC sales and Joan is a certified Yoga instructor. They have a 3- year old Portuguese Water Dog named Cole. They have chosen the Williamsburg area because of the educational classes at W & M , boating on the two rivers and the overall beauty in the area.
Please extend a warm hand of friendship to our newest neighbors as they find their way around the community.
