A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who showed up, supported, donated, tasted, voted, and cheered us on.

Events like this are why we love what we do. Being able to support such an amazing nonprofit while bringing people together is something we’ll never take for granted.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for making this year’s event such a success. We’re already looking forward to doing it again!

Luke Haase - Empower Real Estate

So last week I was able to do something very special. As part of an initiative I helped start as part of the New London Girls Youth Basketball Association (NLGYBA) , I was able to give every girl ages K-4th Grade at Emanuel Lutheran Church and School a new basketball for the holidays.

This was the 5th and final elementary school in New London that received balls this year, meaning every girl in the New London School District ages K-4th Grade received a ball over the last 2 weeks before break.

This initiative was created to introduce them to the game, hopefully understand the opportunities that are available to them, keep them active and possibly grow confidence and friendships like my daughters did through a wonderful sport.

Now none of this would be possible without a community coming together. Outside of my own real estate business, two other business owners that I have known for many years provided funds to make this possible. The principals of all the schools allowed us the opportunity to distribute and the girls high school coach, Cody Clark, was there to get the balls in hands and created events and camps to keep the girls engaged.

Now the first event for the girls is coming up soon and attached in the photos so we hope to see all 400ish girls there getting there balls pumped up with the high school team and having fun!!

From the moment you step into the new main reception area, the space feels open, welcoming, and intentionally designed for all ages to gather, learn, and connect - with thoughtfully designed new spaces that include:

- Flexible meeting rooms for community events, study groups, workshops, and collaboration.

- Industrial & STEAM space built for hands-on exploration in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math

- A dedicated teen space for studying, creating, relaxing, and connecting

- A bright, engaging children’s area that sparks imagination and makes story time unforgettable

This renovation reflects years of planning, strong community support, and a shared vision for a modern library that serves residents of every generation.

Stay tuned—more photos and updates are on the way as we approach the finish line!
