Thursday May 27 at 7:00 PM in the fellowship hall of Holy Redeemer.  Open to the public, the concert will benefit the Nativity Preparatory School's local Scholarship Fund.  Tickets are $10.00 in advance and $12.00 at the door. 

The Concert is  hosted by Kim Kalman, a nationally known vocalist/acoustic guitarist with over 30 years of performing experience.  Kim will be performing material from her new release, I LOOK TO YOU.

The local scholarship fund began in 2009 as a thank-you gift from a small group of Holy Redeemer by the Sea parishioners to the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales.  The Nativity Preparatory School, located in Wilmington, Delaware, was established by the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales.  The school provides a tuition-free, middle school education to boys of all faiths from low-income families.  The school prepares students for success in high school and college and helps students grow in a love for learning and an abiding sense of responsibility to their community.  The school scholarship seems a perfect match between the Parish and the Oblates.

Concert tickets are available after Masses at Holy Redeemer by the Sea Church in Kitty Hawk and Holy Trinity by the Sea in Nags Head as well as at Coastal Fast Lube.  For further concert information or tickets, contact Susan Cheney at 252-441-1575

Cerebrovascular Disease (Stroke) is the 4th leading cause of death in Dare County. Stroke can happen to anyone at any time, regardless of race, sex or age. National Stroke Awareness Month (May) is a great time to learn about the risk factors of stroke as well as signs and symptoms of this "brain attack", which is the leading cause of adult disability. 
 
There are several risk factors that may be controllable in order to prevent the occurrence of a stroke. What are your risk factors. Take this quiz from www.stroke.org and find out. 
 
In addition developing healthy lifestyles habits, recognizing symptoms and taking quick steps to get medical attention can save your life and limit disabilities. A simple test to help detect stroke symptoms follows: FACE - Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop? ARM - Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?  SPEECH - Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence.  Does the speech sound slurred or strange? TIME - If you observe any of these signs, it's time to call 9-1-1. Every second counts  For more information on how to develop healthy lifestyle habits to reduce the risk of stroke, contact Laura Willingham, Health Education Supervisor, at the Dare County Department of Public Health at 475-5079.
