Dear KFA members,

This is the final newsletter before the Kimball Family Association Reunion on Saturday, August 8, 2026. Each year, the reunion includes important business items, including the election of officers. The KFA Board will present a slate of officers for a vote, and nominations may also be made from the floor during the meeting, including self-nominations.

KFA Scholarship Awards are also available at this time of year. For eligibility details and application instructions, please contact Dr. Julie Blalock, Scholarship Committee Chair, at julesdvm05@yahoo .com.

Due to logistical challenges, this year’s reunion will be held via Zoom from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. EDT. Please be on the lookout for connection details. Strong member participation is important as we make planning decisions for returning to an in-person reunion format in 2027.

In closing, I want to thank the membership and Board for their support over the past year. If you have concerns, questions, or suggestions for improving the KFA, please contact me at Richard_ Kimball@hotmail .com or 843-708-7588.

Rick Kimball – KFA President

KFA RESOURCE BOOK

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.
