July Breakfast

Thirteen people and a dog showed up for breakfast at Mahoney Park on Saturday morning. All manner of things car-wise were discussed. Jerry Needham and grandson were out there at 7 A.M. searching for a picnic spot for a company function while no-show Nancy was busy gathering the groceries and couldn't make it. Jerry had a newspaper which came in handy when Shawn Spencer said his wife saw an add for a $500 '80 MGB. All of us parts vulturesăI mean fellow enthusiastsăwish him well!

Terry brought his dog Stripe; a big spotted horse the size of Terry's Sprite. He stood patiently on the seats and deck waiting for his master's return. No one parked next to him. Maybe this is the way to prevent door-dings.

The buffet is a nice affair and the scenery cannot be beat. More of you members should consider a beautiful early morning drive next month and come on out. It's only a half-hour drive out of Omaha or Lincoln.

The June Fish Experiment

The monthly fish fry moved to the Nehawka Tavern last month. About thirty of us, including the usual band of suspects descended on this small town more or less halfway between Omaha and Lincoln. The usual amount of trepidation went unfounded as the bar was neat, polite, and the food was good. The lingering smell of fried food that clung to one's clothes the next day was reminiscent of our old meetings at the Union Bar. It goes without mention that the beer was cold! We took in two new dues-paying members after plying them with liquor and our wit. Please welcome Shawn and Linda Spencer of Omaha to the club. This place does not serve Carp during the summer months but this reporter will survive until September on walleye, catfish, or shrimp. They do have a regular cafe menu if one is not inclined to eat seafood.

Please check the Upcoming Events List to be sure but I think the Club will meet here again in July.
