Centennial Celebration reception
In 2020, the Omaha Local Section celebrated its 100th anniversary. Due to the ongoing pandemic, we were unable to get together to commemorate this milestone. So – better later than never – we are doing it in 2021! Please mark your calendars and join us for the Centennial Celebration reception and dinner. Location TBA.
