Phone: 402-450-3227

I’d like to thank everyone for attending our January meeting at the Prairie Creek Inn. What a nice turnout we had, which is a trend I hope we can continue. I think many of us enjoyed wandering the beauty of nature the Stahr’s have created at their retreat.

We will forgo a February gathering so many can focus their attentions on the Nebraska Builders Home and Garden Show, February 12, 13 and 14 at the Lancaster Event Center. This will also be the 14th year for the Remodelers Council Food Bank House and many hands are needed to make this a success.

Please consider volunteering to help with this worthwhile project.
