BUILD Meeting Minutes

===============================================
Community Craft Get Together March 7
at 7pm in the Louisville Library
Please join us on Thursday, March 7 at 7pm for a Community Event that
will be held at the Louisville Library. This is going to be a monthly event
that will be held on the on the first Thursday of every month at 7pm.
Everyone is welcome, please bring your supplies for your project.
Here is what is needed for this month...we will be making a basket out
of braided bags:
• sewing needles (just regular old sharps - nothing small like quilting
needles or big like embroidery)
• white thread (I chose polyester for added strength)
• plastic bags of all types - grocery bags are easiest, but you can
mix and match. Instructions say about 30
Eventually you could move up to cloth or something else, but this is a
good and recyclable starting point.
Hope to see you there!

Photo Exhibit of Nebraska’s Fallen at Louisville Public Schools
March 4 – 8, 2013
(Louisville, NE) A very emotional exhibit, “Remembering Our Fallen,” is a sad reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by over 80 Nebraskans killed in The War on Terror while wearing our country’s uniform in Afghanistan or Iraq. The photo display will be coming to Louisville Public Schools in Louisville, NE.
“The warriors of the 21st Century, professionals, who volunteered to join the United States Armed Forces, grew up in the shadow of September 11, 2001, a defining moment for most of them. They come from all walks of life and every corner of our country, daring to go where so many never would. They retain the face of freedom and build upon the legacies of those who went before them in a cause greater than themselves.”
“We can never forget those who sacrificed everything for our freedom. We must remember these American Heroes and speak their names when we see their family members,” said Bill Williams, exhibit co-creator. “This exhibit is created so it can travel easily throughout Nebraska, so that more people will have the opportunity to honor and remember Nebraska’s Fallen. Thanks to Midlands Community Foundation, who is a sponsor of the Nebraska High School Educational Tour in Sarpy and Cass Counties, making it possible for this exhibit to be at Louisville Public Schools.”
“Remembering Our Fallen” will be on display March 4-8 in The Lion's Den room which is in the elementary end of the school. Community members may park in the elementary parking lot and use the elementary entrance. When you stop by the office to get your visitor's badge, you will receive directions to The Lion's Den.
The exhibit’s appearance is made possible by the Tour Sponsorship of Midlands Community Foundation and viewing is open to the public. Remembering Our Fallen was created by Bill & Evonne Williams of Patriotic Productions, Omaha, with the financial support of Bellevue University, who has solely sponsored the financial support of similar displays in eight other states: Iowa, Missouri, Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and North Dakota.
If you would like to host the display, please contact Bill Williams of Patriotic Productions at bwilliams@rememberingourfallen.org or 402-612-0210. More information is available at: www.rememberingourfallen.org

Louisville Awareness Slogan Contest
Continues till April 15th
Winners to be named by May 1st
Thank you to all who submitted an entry into the Louisville Awareness Slogan Contest. The BUILD committee was overwhelmed by the response. After reviewing the 210 entries and forming a subcommittee to help select a winner, we realized we had failed to provide proper direction.
From the start of this process, we envisioned a new slogan for Louisville that local businesses could use in their advertising to help create greater awareness of the close proximity of the town in relation to the metropolitan areas to the northeast and southwest. Reflecting back to the beginning of the contest and judging by entries received, we don’t believe we made this focus very clear.
We have decided to reopen the contest for new entries that emphasize our location (in proximity to Omaha & Lincoln) and opportunity in Louisville. We’re looking for a slogan that tells everyone where we are and what makes us a unique community. We will accept new slogans through April 15th, 2013. We hope to have a new, flashy slogan and award the winners by May 1st. Please email all slogan entries to Louisvillebuild@gmail.com
All slogan entries received to this point are still in consideration to be chosen and awarded one of the three prizes. We just didn’t feel right about selecting a winner when only 10 – 15% of the entries were focused on the criteria we are looking for. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Louisville BUILD
Here are some clarifications on rules:
Question: now with the additional clarification, are previous entrants allowed to re-submit additional suggestion for consideration? Yes
Meaning: participant will have 2 entries under consideration if additional entry has been submitted
Everyone may submit an entry, it does not matter if you have submitted previously or not. Still one prize per person/household.
The committee reserves the right to “modify” or “change” wording if necessary.
