If you are coming to the next Promenade I have to have your RSVP no later than 14 August 2009 my home phone with and answering system is 402 564 9035, my cell phone is 402 630 0288. I have procured a room at the Days Inn for Saturday night in Lexington it cost me $63.00 plus tax, I know Super 8 is the same, but Holiday Inn Express is $90.00, I recommend spending the night but that’s up to you.

The easiest way to get to the Zikmund Cabin at Johnson Lake is to take Highway 283 South from I80 (Lexington exit) 8 miles (there is a sign to Johnson Lake at about 3 miles south, but its not easy to find the cabin going that way). Turn west off of US Hwy283 onto Drive 28 (there is a convenience store/gas station near the corner). Continue on this road about 1 mile (it winds around kind of to the north), until you go over the outlet bridge. Turn left the first road (East Shore Drive, I think), go about ¼ mile the road will turn, you go straight on Road 1. The Zikmund’s cabin is the 9^th cabin, lot #38. Phone number at the cabin is 308 785 2234 Zikmund’s cell phone are 402 270 7856 or 402 270 7857, the home phone in Columbus is 402 563 2881.

Fines: Merlin, Jack, Dean, and Arney $1.00, Don Rullo $8.00 (Doug paid for $3.00 of it.) we won’t have to have any kind of a money maker as long as Don keeps coming to the Promenades.

Old Business: None.
