Fixing up the bridge landings

Some Much needed work is being done to the landings on the Bridges over the Platte. We still have more work to do, but we did get a lot done.

The Calendar starts to fill....

We are going to host our third volunteer orientation event Tuesday, August 25th at 6:00p.m.

Anyone who is interested in volunteering is welcome to attend. We will review what is going on and what types of things volunteers will be doing around the Center. We are glad to say that to this point we have had 47 people attend orientations saying that they are interested in volunteering for the center. I couldn't be more pleased.

We will need a few volunteers to help with this event as well as a booth that we will be hosting at the Husker Harvest Days September 15,16 and 17. If you are interested in helping, call the center and let us know.

Volunteers gather together at the Center.

We held our second volunteer orientation tonight. 37 people attended and 10 last week. Some were have volunteered for years and other were brand new to the effort. We had good food and conversation. We'll be rolling up our sleeves and getting to the business of running a great Center. We will hold another event next month. If you are interested in volunteering, just stop by or contact us by phone or email. We need good people every month of the year, so join us!

Yes, the sandhill crane has graced the cover of our local phone book. I don't use phone books as much as I used to, but its a nice cover none the less.
