We are all passionate about making our community and the world a better place for children so they can thrive. We are devoted to serving the children in our local community and also children all across the country and worldwide through unique and innovative service projects and fundraising initiatives.

Kip introduced our speaker Zac Triemert, President & Head Distiller for Brickway Brewery & Distillery.
Brickway opened on Dec. 13, 2013. It is located in the Old Market.  If you look at their logo, the B in Brickway is also a 13.

Brickway products also bear three words that nod to Zac's passion and purpose: Celebrate, Commiserate, Commemorate.  Brickway's slogan is, It doesn’t matter if you’re celebrating, commiserating, or commemorating, Brickway is going to be there for you, Tours are available every Saturday. You can go online to schedule your tour.

Speaker for July 6th is Krystina, the  Foster & Volunteer Coordinator for Town and Country Humane Society in Papillion.

Our next meeting is July 6th at noon at Legends.
