Omaha Update
Mike and I were interviewed by Omaha World Herald reporter Rainbow Rowell today in preperation for an article in Wed edition. Pick up a paper or check www.omaha.com. Just a reminder, this group is for any dads who are home during the day and are the primary caregivers during that time. Even if you work 2/3 shifts, you are welcome. We are going to start scheduling some daytime stuff for you guys who can't make the dads night out meetings.

Dads Night Out Review
Not much to review. It was Steve and myself as the only participants. Even though I don't mind just hanging out with a few dads, it would be nice to get more guys out. Hopefully as time goes by, we will. I plan on going to Mike's in Omaha on May 3rd.

Next Dads Night Out
Looking forward to seeing everyone at Legends on Wed Night 8pm in the upstairs lounge. Hopefully Mike will have an update on the Omaha night out.

Going Public III
We are listed in today's Journal-Star on Page 2 of the Hubbub section in the calendar section. Check it out. Mike is going to contact OWH for our Omaha night out.
I am planning another dads night out for Wed May 24th. So far this is tentative. Andrew, from an Ad agency in KC and UNL grad, is interested in getting some info on our group and at-home dads in general. We have penciled this date and will confirm later. I am hoping we can meet in the middle in Gretna again. Hopefully this weekend I can put together some flyers to put out at different places with info on our group.

Happy Easter

Message for Steve
Steve,

My emails to you have been getting returned. I've tried 4 or 5 times with no luck. We are hoping that we will have more people attend with info going out in the paper. I have also had contact with a few other dads, but they haven't responded to my emails. Mike was hoping on the same thing in Omaha with something in the paper. See you next week.

Omaha Night Out
Mike has set up the Wed May 3rd night out at Grandmothers and 82nd & L. We will meet in the lounge area. Mike is going to arrive early and reserve table(s). He let them know we will have up to 8-10 people. Meet at 8pm. If you are new, give Mike a call at 339-5860 and let him know you are coming so he can keep an eye out for you. We will contact OWH next week with the info.

Going Public II
Looks like we'll have a listing in next Fridays edition of Hubbub in the Journal-Star for our April 19 dads nite out. I am also trying to set up a time to meet with Erin Andersen to do a story on our group. Hopefully next week we can meet. Still waiting to hear from Mike on an Omaha site for May 3rd with contact with OWH to follow.

Cards
I have just placed an order for personal type cards with contact info included. Let me know if you need some to pass out to other dads you run into.

April 19th site secured
I have reserved the upstairs lounge at Legends Bar at 84th & Holdrege, Lincoln. Wed April 19, 8pm. Mike is still working on a location for Omaha. Looks like that date will be May 3, Wednesday. More updates to come.

Going Public
I am working on a press release type announcement to send to newspapers, local kids type papers, etc.. I think that a meeting date/place should be included in the document. I am thinking about reserving the upstairs at Legends again. What do you guys think. I'll shoot for a Wed nite again. How about April 19th. Mike, can you work something together for the next Wed nite in Omaha? April 26th. I have been to the Brewsky's in west Omaha and I think they have a seperate section you can reserve. Or if you have any other ideas, can you check them out? these meetings will be informal meet/greet type events, dads only, say around 8pm.
Steve, any ideas?
