Welcome to the first newsletter of 2026.
The KFA Board has been working on several projects this past several months. One of the most important has been the ongoing difficulty of increasing the current membership. If you have not yet done so for 2026, please renew your membership in the KFA and encourage other family members to join and take part. Remember that most of the monies derived from the membership dues fund the KFA scholarships.
One attempt to increase interest in the KFA has been to add social media pages with Facebook and Instagram. The Instagram page is searchable as Kimball Family Association and the Facebook page is Kimball Family Association Connections; both pages have links to the Kimball Family Association website.
The scholarship requirements have dropped the grandparent eligibility. This year, an applicant’s parents or the applicant themselves must be a KFA member for three years prior to applying to the scholarship program. Contact the scholarship chairperson, Dr. Julie Blalock, DVM, for any clarifications.
Due to logistical issues this year, the board has made the decision to postpone the in-person reunion in Nashua, NH, one year and instead host a one-day reunion via Zoom. Please look for more-detailed information on this change and plan on attending the KFA reunion as we return to Nashua, NH, in August 2027.
Please contact me or any other board member if you have any ideas or suggestions on how to make the Kimball Family Association better serve the membership.

Kimball Cousins,
At the 2021 Reunion, we handed out 28 copies of the new KFA Resource Book. The contents of the 3-ring binder consists of “all things Kimball,” according to a Board member. The book tells of the beginnings of the KFA and provides information on the immigrant Richard. The benefits of membership are described. A fledgling section, “Notable Kimballs,” tells the stories of a few special Kimballs; more biographies will be added as we go forward. There are sections on developing your own “Notable Kimballs” and guides for research as well as storage of copies of the newsletter or special articles. A favorite section, “Location, Location, Location,” list 43 pages of places named, “Kimball,” across the nation reminding us of the depth and diversity of Kimballs.
The costs of materials, copying, and mailing are being underwritten by a special, very generous donor, it has been suggested that members might want to acknowledge the uniqueness of the Resource Book and make a financial contribution toward those expenses. However, the benefactor has suggested that members show their appreciation by making a donation to the scholarship fund. A letter giving more detail will be included in each mailing. Those of you who have already received your copies may wish to make a similar contribution.
Please be sure that you are paid through the end of 2025 to receive your copy.
