Hello, last month I traveled to Lincoln to meet some members who meet for coffee once a month.
A very informal, come as you are, have some breakfast/coffee and meet other like minded members of NFOA.
I would like to get this going in the Omaha area and would like to meet this Sat. AM the 9th at the HyVee resturant at 180th and Pacific at 09:00.
If anyone is interested, myself and my son will be there, please post if you think you could come, I think we need to put faces with the folks we chat with on the forum.
Please post so I know if anyone is interested.

Would love to go to a 'greet and meet' in the area and THAT is in the area... However, I have a training course to do out of town this weekend... Bummer.. Maybe next time.

cool Im up for it

Any possibility of doing this earlier in the day? My Saturdays are usually pretty busy, but I could probably sneak in something around 7:30 or so.

Mud It would be fine with me to meet earlier, I am an early riser. I also have a busy day planned Sat.
Hopefully I can get Famous556 up.
Does anyone who is coming have a problem with 07:30?
Post here if that won't work.
Thanks Greg

Since I have not heard any oposition to 07:30, lets meet then.
Once again the HyVee at 180th and Pacific, Saturday March 09, 07:30 AM.
I will be wearing a hunter orange camo cap. My son and I look forward to meeting some area members in person, please don't be shy.

I am going to be near 60th & Grover at 10:00 so the earlier start time just might work out for me.

See you there. Not sure what I'll be wearing, but I'll look for your cap.

I'd love to attend... but 7:30 is a tad too early for me given my current schedule, and it's also a half hour drive heh. Calling it 'Omaha' is nearly a misnomer LOL.

Possibly catch ya on the next one

Good to see those that were able to make it!

Famous556 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 09, 2013, 11:05:03 AM »

It was nice to meet you all and put some faces to the usernames.

Hank · « **Reply #14 on:** March 09, 2013, 12:12:32 PM »

I agree Famous556... not to mention breakfast with cool discussion, and in the company of new friends.
If something is brought up for next month, maybe others could suggest a location that works better for them (unfy..lol). I`m flexable as far as location & time..it`s going to be a bit of a drive anyhoo.

greg58 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 10, 2013, 12:25:45 AM »

Thanks to all who came out for our first Omaha coffee roundup. It was nice to meet some new folks, I enjoyed the company and thoughtful conversation. I was suprised we were there for over 2 hrs.

Unfy, I picked the west O location strictly for my own convenience, since I was coming in from Valley, then I felt bad when I found out Hank came clear from Neb.City.
If you come next month I'll let you pick the spot.

I agree that 2 hrs went by quickly Greg, and it was a pleasure to meet you and your sons.
As far as the drive goes, like I said, I had to meet a guy with a couple of old license plates.
You guys would laugh if you knew what I paid for a couple of old plates stamped out in 1966..lol
I will PM you with additional contact info, and I wouldn`t mind having that picture your son had on his phone if he has the ability to e-mail..that was too funny.

Yes Hank I would belive what old liscense plates are bringing. I bought a set of 1958 NE. plates for a car I no longer own. I should probably e-Bay them, I actually have a lot if you are ever looking for something else.
