Voices of Inspiration Featuring Carol Kramer
April 25, 2024
6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
DMACC Newton The United Way of Jasper County is launching its new "Voices of Inspiration: Speaker Series" and is excited to announce long-time Newton resident Carol Kramer as the featured speaker on Thursday, April 25.
Kramer is an enrolled member of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe and a life-long conservationist and educator. She was born on the White Earth Reservation in Northern Minnesota and raised by my Anishenabey parents. Kramer graduated from Bemidji State College. She and her husband Rev. Fritz Kramer were married in 1956, and moved to Newton in 1966 to raise their family. During their time in Newton, they were active in many groups, volunteering thousands of hours, and hosting dozens of foreign exchange students, campaign workers and other visitors to stay in their home.
Kramer shared she was involved in “too many things” to list but includes Jasper Conservation Board, Iowa State Dept. of Natural Resources, Project AWAKE Board, Military Academy, Skiff Auxiliary, Willowbrook Day Center and Mitchellville Women’s Correctional Institute, along with many political offices, church involvement.
Kramer will share her story at the 325-seat state-of-the art auditorium at DMACC – Newton Campus. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the program beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The event is open to all with a free-will admission collected to help continue and grow the speaker series.
“Voices of Inspiration” is presented by United Way of Jasper County with support from Dodd’s Trash & Recycling, Pence-Reese Funeral Home, Jessica Lowe Vokes & Erik Vokes, Mark & Emily Allen and DMACC-Newton Campus.
“Voices of Inspiration” will feature engaging speakers who will inspire, motivate and inform the audience. The series aligns with the mission of United Way of Jasper County, which is to uplift and empower the community, and promotes life-long learning.
