Volunteers Needed for the
by Pam Magner
Every year after taking down all the Christmas decorations, I hang a “Let it Snow” sign on my front door. The superstition at our house is that, for whatever reason (maybe because it’s January in Nebraska), it works without fail! We certainly weren’t disappointed this year; it snowed less than a week after hanging it. Of course, every year, I’m more than ready to take it down by the end of January, just in case it really does have special powers! As I start to tire of the cold and freezing precipitation, the Nebraska Builders Home and Garden Show pulls me out of my winter blues. Seeing the energetic exhibitors, especially the landscapers, reminds me that greenery, flowers and warmth are just around the corner! The show dates are February 10, 11 and 12 at the Lancaster Event Center. Whether you exhibit or not, come out and support our Association. This year the Remodelers Council Food Bank House celebrates 15 years of giving back to the community and I encourage you to sign up to volunteer for such a worthy cause. Thank you to everyone who attended our January meeting at the Breslow Ice Hockey Center. Having ice that is available to the public is a benefit for many people within our community. It’s an amenity that brings people to our great city. If you enjoy ice skating, be sure to check their public skate times. Due to the Show, we don’t have a February meeting but be sure to look for our meeting in March at the new Cornhusker Bank at 84th and O Streets. I know I am curious to see it!

By the way, I promise to take the sign off of my door before the second week of February, we all appreciate good weather when moving into the Event Center. If it snows, at least I won’t feel responsible.
