“I thought that I knew a lot about Nebraska City since I was raised here; but as I attended the LNC day sessions, I found out there are many hidden treasures in our community. We have a great network of volunteers, organizations, and businesses working together to help provide a better quality life for the citizens of Nebraska City and Otoe County. I also found out that there are many organizations and boards looking for additional volunteers. So, if you have a talent or passion of any kind (i.e. gardening, children, biking); you can become involved with an organization with similar interests and put your talents to good use while making a stronger community”.
