Great Causes
Great CompanyHow can you resist meeting other Kimballs? And how can you not like them (being a Kimball oneself - or married to one)? And there is always a good chance you will meet a relative you didn't know you had. And if you are having problems figuring out who your relatives might be, there will be help on hand to track down those illusive ancestors. Our genealogist, Judith Kimball, will be on hand to help with your questions. Great Food
GREAT TIMESWith the economy being so challenging, it was an opportunity to use this as a mini-vacation. There were a lot of things to do and see around Manchester and in the Merrimack Valley. These are just a few of the highlights: Tour the AreaEnjoy Lake Massabesic
Shop for Antiques16 miles southwest on Route 101A in Amherst and Milford has some of the best antiques shops in the state. Called the "Antiques Trail". It's a great place to browse through history. Beer TourThe Anheuser-Busch Brewery in Merrimack offers complimentary guided tours where you can visit the Clydesdale Hamlet, home to the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales. Adults can sample a variety of brews including seasonal brands and new products. Find more information at http://www.budweisertours.com/toursMER.htm. Nearby attractions:

The purpose of the Annual Meeting is, of course, to conduct the business of the Kimball Family Association.
The KFA officers for 2011 fiscal year, are elected at the meeting, and those interested in volunteering can
do so here as well. Old and New Business, and an update on "History of Kimballs in America, VOL II progress".
Any member who wants to present a proposal to the Association for consideration or to make a proposed change
to the by-laws can do so here. Changes to the By-laws would then be taken up by Board of Directors at their
next meeting. But it isn't all business and no fun. There is also much more to enjoy:
KFA
gives out educational scholarships to Kimballs. Items donated by the membership are auctioned off to fund
these scholarships. The scholarships awarded for the year are also announced. Special auction items this
year: 3 scissor savers by Joyce Kimball, 3 small watercolor painting by Mary E.(Kimball) Kennedy, a Bluetooth,
and a MP3 player. Please consider donating any item from your business or crafts you make.
The
catering has been consistently excellent at these events and this year was no exception. The caterer was
Granite State Catering Partners. Among the menu items for dinner was Beef Tips, Shrimp and Scallop Skewers,
Crème
Brulee and New York Cheesecake. Yum! Leave your diets behind for the next event. 
Lake Massabesic in Auburn, 6.5 miles from Manchester, is where you can enjoy a Sunday afternoon. Kayaking,
hiking, or biking (sorry, no swimming). Enjoy a picnic on the lawn beside the lake or bird watchers can take
the trails at the Massabesic Audubon Center a few miles away.
