The Nebraska Society held its annual Congressional Reception on June 9, when we honored our Intern Scholarship Award recipients for 2009. You can read about these fantastic representatives of Nebraska here. All five members of the Congressional delegation were in attendance, along with their staff members. Thank you to all of you who attended or bought a ticket to support the internship program!
We also just picked a date for our 8th Annual States of the Big XII Softball Tournament. The tournament will be held on July 25th at Bolling Air Force Base. In previous years, the state of Nebraska has been represented by two teams, and it's possible that with enough interest this year we'll have three. Each team is guaranteed two games and we'll have a trophy for the winner. Visit our softball page for all the details.
We'll have food and soft drinks there (alcohol is allowed on grounds, but will not be provided). We are still actively considering food and drink sponsors, so if you or someone you know would like to cater the event, please contact us. For all inquiries on teams and sponsor ideas, please e-mail Joe Britton at softball@nebraskasociety.org.
Lastly, if you haven't purchased a membership for 2009, it's not too late! We still have the Taste of Nebraska dinner and Distinguished Nebraskan Award reception to go this year. With your membership, you'll receive discounts to these events while supporting the Intern Scholarship Award program. You can sign up for your membership here.
Thank you all for your continued support of the Nebraska Society. I hope to see you at one of our events soon!
Charlie Ellsworth
Nebraska Society President
