E-Vote for KC!

Krempels Center has been nominated to receive a donation from the Provident Bank. How much we receive depends on how many e-votes we get. Voting closes on June 15th so vote now by clicking here!

The rain ended early Sunday morning and we even got blue skies for our sold-out race Runner's Alley/Redhook 5k. Over 2,000 registered entrants completed the course, the most ever, crossing the finish line walking, running, and wheeling their chairs. Thank you to all of the dedicated volunteers and businesses, all of you, who help us make this happen, this year and every year. The final count isn't in yet, but we expect that more than $60,000 was raised from this event. And all proceeds benefit us, Krempels Center. We are grateful and humbled by the outpouring of support. We've posted over 200 photos on our Facebook page (photos taken by member Charlene Lister). View them here!

with friends. For our barbeque, we thank the generosity and vision of Shane Pouliot and the Ashley Pouliot Memorial Fund. Here's the backstory: Shane and Ashley were members who met at Krempels Center. Their marriage was tragically cut short by Ashley's death at the age of 25. The Ashley Pouliot Memorial Fund will sponsor this Krempels Center reunion-bringing old and new friends together for an afternoon of community. So mark your calendar now! Wednesday, July 24th from noon to 1:50pm in the gym/front lawn of the Community Campus. Please RSVP to Lisa Hanson Ashley Pouliot lhanson@krempelscenter.og or call (603)433-9821 by Friday, July 12, 2013 to let us know if you will be joining us!

More Than a Speed Bump

Jim wrote this book as a therapeutic exercise for himself--it's the story of his accident and the aftermath of living with a brain injury. After reading his book, friends and family urged him to publish it, to get his story out. Jim went with a small local publisher and has already had several reprintings.
