Once again,  Gary at Guns to Roses (West  "O" ) has a few parking spots in front of his place available for the morning.  Otherwise some ideas would be a Walmart/ HyVee  lot to park and car pool from, to make parking a little easier.

Once Larry from the VFW gets back from sunny, warm, Arizona. We will finalize a time/ place to meet up after lunch to present the rifle cases.

As for lunch, any ideas?

I still have 2 seats available for anyone that wants one.
We'll be passing through the Elkhorn-Gretna areas on Hwy 31, and stopping at DE Guns on the way back.  8)

OK, I have 3 coming with me now. Probably going to swipe SHMBO's Toyota minivan for the "Lincoln Invasion".

Have room for 2 more, if needed.

I could pick up three more (if I clean the car out from the women's expo ) Will be coming from West Cornhusker (NW Lincoln) so Belmont Center (Save Mart) or Guns to Roses would be on my way.

There is strength in numbers.
If you are at all considering coming, please do, to show the Legislature that we care.

As an extra for anyone interested,  I just got off the phone with Larry from the VFW and we will meet up with them at Antelope Park at the Veteran's Memorial at 2 pm.

With the move and other complications, I dunno if I'll make it.  I'm PLANNING on it, though.

Given that I have a possible busy day, I'll make the drive solo.

I'll be in a dark suit with ... probably a red shirt and red tie.

Good luck, everyone.  Wish I could be there.  I'll be sitting in Coach class at 30,000 feet while you're hobnobbing with the Nebraska political elite :)

Dagny and I plan on being there, so we'll add 1.5 to the head count.

Just watched the live feed recognition of 50 members of the firearms owners of... uh... all across Nebraska :) I tried to get a screen capture, but like an idiot when I hit pause on the feed the screen went back to the default NET Live banner and missed it! Dang!

Sorry I couldn't make it today folks. Woke up at 2:30 today with a sick kid. I was really looking forward to meeting more of you and experiencing the Unicameral firsthand.

Was good to meet folks and shake hands, even if I ended up being late for the starting meeting.

Blue shirt instead of red - but all my red ones were dirty heh.

Thanks again to NEBull for directions and stuff.

A heartfelt Thank You from all that attended today's little get together.  I really felt it was informative and enjoyable at the same time.  (Kinda our plan ;) )

(Of course if there is anything your would like to see done better/ different should we do this again next year, please feel free to PM me )
 I personally would like this to become an important enough event that more Senators would take the time to come by.  (most of those that had said they would ended up with sick kids/ conference calls, etc. )
We had a total number of around 41.5 according to the sign in sheets.  That's encouraging, for sure, I hope next time we can fill the room.
