Aloha! Flickering Tiki torches, the ambience of the tropics, Bermuda shorts, island floral dresses, and Polynesian fare create the soiree’ known as The Crumley House Polynesian Beach Party.   The Crumley House Polynesian Beach Party 2015 will be held at 6 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 8, on the Crumley House grounds. This popular event provides an evening of celebration, community, generosity and fun, all the while supporting the region’s only private facility of its kind.  

“No details will be spared at the island-paradise event to benefit brain injured patients and families. The Crumley House Polynesian Beach Party is our largest fundraiser of the year,” said Odie Major, Chairman of The Crumley House Board. “The Polynesian-style dinner will be a fusion of tropical island flavors and local foods guaranteed to help in the escape to the tropics.  A large part of the evening will be the opportunity to bid on Tiki Treasures and other items in the Polynesian silent auction and then later in the live auction. All proceeds benefit The Crumley House. Topping off the event will be dancing, laughter and just plain fun!   Participants just might see a Hula or two as the Polynesian celebration continues with DJ Robbie Britton.”   

An extra added bonus to the event is the opportunity to view the Powell Family's Old Barn and Tractor Barn, located behind the Crumley House from 4 to 5 p.m. Completely renovated by Powell Farms, visitors may take a step back in time as they view 61 completely restored Letter Tractors (Cubs to Super M) dating from 1937 to 1960.   Doors open for bidding on the Tiki Treasures at 5:00 pm.

The innovative Crumley House story began when Lori Beth Ford, a beautiful and vibrant 14-year old, was involved in a tragic automobile accident. That day changed the lives of Lori and her mother, June Barrrett, forever. Through Lori Beth's recovery process, June discovered that there was no place in the region to support the transition between acute rehabilitation, community re-entry, and independent living. After years of work raising awareness and educating medical professionals and members of the general population on the need for these services, June Barrett opened the Crumley House Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center in the summer of 1992.

Today, the Crumley House offers day and residential programs to increase cognitive learning, physical agility, and life skills. The program is the only one of its kind in the Southeastern region of the United States and has served over 3,000 brain injury survivors and their families.

Individual tickets are $100 each, and various sponsorship levels are also available. All proceeds will support brain injury survivors at the Crumley House Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center (www.crumleyhouse.com) in Limestone, TN.  Anyone interested in attending is encouraged to purchase tickets early - as they sell out quickly!

We need a new model of leadership that transcends position, power, and title. In the trenches, leaders must be adequately equipped with the leadership skills to see the bigger picture, make critical decisions, and produce results through others.

During this webinar, Marlene Chism will share:

• And much more!
