COORDINATOR REPORT My report for this month is only about the swap meet on March 3, 2019. What is still needed are two volunteers to work from 6:00 am till done with parking of the venders in the Muhlvach lot which is on the far east side of the Lancaster Event Center. I already have the volunteers for the vender collections at 3:00 am till 7:00 am but if anybody wants to do this I could sure use alternates in case anybody that has signed up cancels. I know the swap meet is a few months off, but I need to get this done or we will lose another area to another club and we will get less money. Call me at (402) 489-8853 or my cell at (402) 432-3042. Again, we desperately need 2 more Members to park cars at the Swap Meet on Sunday, March 3, 2019 from 6:00 am till done. It is critical that we have people to fill this role, as I already committed to the ENWICC that we will cover this so call me if you can help. If we fail, it lets another club come in and we will lose the revenue, and probably the future opportunity to volunteer. Please help if you can. Gary Weyers, Event Coordinator SCHOLARSHIP NOMINEES Congratulations to Bob Moberly for finding applicants to the annual REBELS Scholarship Program. Bob has 9 Nominees so far!
