			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float: left; margin-right: 15px;" src="http://carolynscoffee.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/SK.jpg" alt="" />It is with great sadness that we are writing to inform you of the passing of Carolyn&#8217;s father, her friend and mentor, Stephen Kirkby, CPA on December 30, 2010. </p>
<p>The news has saddened all of us at Carolyn&#8217;s Coffee Connection.  Our deepest condolences are extended to his wife Karen, his children, Jennifer Kirkby, Mary Beth Moran, David Kirkby, and Carolyn Kirkby, his five grandchildren and all family members.</p>
<p>It was with the support and guidance of her father that Carolyn was able to not only open Coffee Connection at its original location of Sixth Ave, but to grow it into what she has today on 52nd Street.  There were many times that Carolyn wanted to throw in the towel over the last 5 years, but her Dad would continue to encourage her and believe in her when she doubted herself. </p>
<p>From Carolyn:</p>
<p>Without my father, the cafe wouldn&#8217;t exist.  I will be forever grateful that he saw abilities in me I didn&#8217;t think I had.  My world is not as full as it was a week ago but through the strength and wisdom of my Dad, the love and support of friends, my family and I will get through this.  MY father taught us to be strong and believe in ourselves no matter what obstacles landed in our path.  Losing my Dad is by far the largest obstacle I have yet to encounter but I trust he will be by my side as I continue on my journey.  I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of love &#038; support my family &#038; I have received and there are no words to convey what it has meant to us.  </p>
<p>We will be forever grateful.</p>
<p>Visitation for Steve will be held on Monday, January 3, 2011 from 3 PM until 9 PM at:<br />

<p><strong>Sunday, December 19 · 1:00pm &#8211; 3:00pm</strong><br />
<small>Suggested donation 5.00</small><br />
<a href="http://carolynscoffee.com/">Carolyn&#8217;s Coffee Connection</a><br />
1351 52nd Street, Kenosha, WI 53140<br />
Tel. 262.653.1478 </p>
<p>Come and enjoy a jazzy mix of your Christmas favorites performed by the <a href="http://www.sonicbids.com/KalBergendahl">Kal Bergendahl Project</a> at <a href="http://carolynscoffee.com/">Carolyn&#8217;s Coffee Connection</a>.</p>
<p>Founded in the fall of 2005, the <a href="http://www.sonicbids.com/KalBergendahl">Kal Bergendahl Project </a>(KBP) steps into the worlds of vocal R&#038;B, pop, and smooth jazz, creating a unique and interesting blend of music that attracts a wide audience. The group&#8217;s sounds are reminiscent of David Sanborn and Kirk Whalum on the jazz side and Norah Jones and John Mayer on the pop side.</p>
<p>Melodic variety is a key element of the KBP&#8217;s style, as a live show features pop and soul vocal melodies incorporated with instrumental melodies led by the saxophone, guitar and bass. This variety creates an intriguing musical texture that can be led by any member in the band.</p>

<p>Opened in 2005, Carolyn’s is where people come together over great food and exceptional coffee.  In 2009, Carolyn moved to her current location at 1351 52nd St.  Only steps away from the lakefront, the new building allows her to participate in the 52nd Street renaissance while hosting regular artistic events and gallery showings in the expanded event space.  Carolyn’s renovations of the previously neglected building include the addition of a drive-through and plentiful parking, a children’s playroom, and extensive seating for both public and private events.</p>

The <a target="_blank" href="http://exposekenosha.com/2010/08/02/beexposed-presents-the-kenosha-art-association/">Kenosha Art association</a> student&#8217;s work will be on display, <a target="_blank" href="http://exposekenosha.com/2010/08/03/beexposed-presents-author-terri-gilliland/">Terri Gilliland</a>, author of In A Moment, will be signing books from 6-7 pm. Her story of three challenging moments in time &#8211; going blind, her husband&#8217;s debilitating motorcycle accident, and her son&#8217;s brain tumor &#8211; offers an inspirational message of courage and the ability to rise above the challenges life gives us. At 7:00 Terri, who is an in-demand public speaker, will give a live presentation. After Terri&#8217;s speech, J&#038;H Crossing (Jason Kent and Heather Montague) and <a target="_blank" href="http://exposekenosha.com/2010/07/27/blue-edge-of-the-prairie-with-kerry-spitzer-and-janice-swartz/">Blue Edge of the Prairie (Kerry Spitzer and Janice Swartz)</a> will both be performing. These bands have often jammed together in the past and though they are performing independently, it would not be a surprise to see them blending their work together for even more fun!</p>

<h3>Songs of Hope in Hard Times</h3>
<p><strong>The Reclaimers</strong><br />
<strong>When:</strong>  August 4, 2010, 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.<br />
<strong>Where:</strong>  <a href="http://carolynscoffee.com">Carolyn’s Coffee Connection</a></p>
<p>The Reclaimers began performing their brand of bluegrass/folk music together in 2008 for local church services.  The fine musicians members of this group (Curtis Bewley, Phil Davis, Laura Goetz, Elliott Nott &amp; Catherine Webb) each bring a wealth of musical experience, knowledge and style.  They take turns singing lead while the others masterfully create harmony lines.  In addition to the five wonderful voices, their concerts are filled with the traditional sounds of the Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Fiddle, Bass and Percussion.</</p>
