President’s Message

Newsletter Editor: Tracee Bougger

2702 South Street

Lincoln, NE 68502

Email: traceejean@yahoo.com PH:

I would like to thank all of the board

members and regular members of the Rebels

for making my 2 year term as President

enjoyable and fulfilling. I enjoyed

representing the Rebels everywhere I went.

I would hope those that succeed me will have

the same experience. I have come to know

some of you quite well and enjoyed working

with you. I have admired the accomplish-

ments we have all made together. The Rebels

continue to support local businesses,

charities, our military and schools. The

majority of our income depends on members

volunteering their time. Our youth is definitely the future for the

Rebels and it is good to see us recruiting

and supporting them. Our work ahead is

challenging to bring younger people into the

Rebels and instill in them the hard work our

members put forth and the rewards we all

enjoy. I hope everyone is getting ready for and can

attend the next meeting at Parkers on

December 19th when we hold elections. If

you aren't able to attend, please contact

Craig Foster for an absentee ballot. The

board has had many interesting discussions

the past 2 years and I believe we have

always had the club's best interest when

making decisions. Good luck to the new

board members. Please sign up as soon as possible for the

Christmas/Holiday Party at the Knolls on

January 19th so we know how many will

attend. Membership dues are due in January

so you can pay for your membership and the

party at the same time. The total for the

membership and party is $28.00. We have a

minimum number of seats we have to pay for

and last year we came up considerably short.

If we don't have enough members attending

the party, the money has to come out of our

treasury to make up the difference. We have

a budget for the party, but it doesn't in-

clude this amount. Don't wait until the

last minute. I look forward to seeing everyone at the

next meeting. Again, thank you for all

your support the past 2 years. Hope to

see you all on the road soon! Cary Petersen, President

November Meeting, November 28, 2012 at

Valentino’s.

64 members and guests present.

The meeting was called to order by Cary at

7:30 pm. We have one new member, Jerry

Solomon, he has a replica car. Cary asked for

birthdays, Bobbi Wells had a birthday last week and Eric

Tepley had a birthday on November 19th. Cary asked if eve-

ryone read the article in the Neighborhood Extra. The arti-

cle told how the Rebel’s started and also told about what

the Rebel’s do, scholarships, donations, troop packages.

Renee gave the vice presidents report. The next executive

meeting, which will be Cary’s last board meeting, will be at

Honeycreek in Waverly on December 11th at 7 pm. The

next general meeting will be December 19th at Parker’s

Smokehouse, it will be election of officers. The Christmas

party will be January 19th at The Knoll’s. Renee asked that

all dues and payment for the Christmas party be paid to

Wanda. It would be great if everyone could pay in advance.

Cary also asked that as many as possible pay in advance of

the party. Last year we paid for quite a few meals due to

not having the minimum attending that we had reserved

for. Renee is passing around the signup sheet for the party.

The January meeting will be January 30th and will be at

the VFW.

Margaret gave the secretary’s report. A motion was made

to accept the minutes from the October meeting; the motion

was seconded and approved. Margaret had membership

forms for anyone who wanted to renew their membership

tonight and also updated member lists. The deadline for

the newsletter is December 3rd, please send any articles or

pictures to Tracee by that date so they will be in the news-

letter. Margaret read thank you letters from People’s City

Mission, The Food Bank of Lincoln, The Arc of Lincoln, and

Clinic With A Heart. She also read a letter from the Ne-

braska Agribusiness Development Team #3, stationed in

Afghanistan thanking the Rebel’s for the packages that we

sent them. They were especially appreciative of the cookies.

Also included with their letter was a certificate of apprecia-

tion and a signed photo. Thanks to all of you for the sup-

port for all the causes that the Rebel’s help to support. We

are making a difference in our community.

Wanda gave the treasurer’s report. We are still waiting for

the check from SCAA for $2,200. Wanda said that renewals

can be done via Paypal if you wish to do that. We do pay a

fee for each Paypal transaction however. There was a mo-

tion made, seconded and approved to accept the treasurer’s

report.

Scott gave the coordinator’s report. He said that Forever

Angels are having a toy and fund drive. Toys are for up to

20 years of age. Toys can be dropped to Scott at AutoZone

by December 15th, they can be wrapped. Please note the

gender and age of child on the package. Sandy Francisco

made a motion that the Rebel’s donate $250 to Forever An-

gels. It was seconded and approved.

Old Business:

At last month’s meeting there was a vote on a change in the

by laws, which was approved. There needed to another vote

to ratify that change at tonight’s meeting. The change al-

lows a current board member who still has a year left of

their term to run for a different office without having to

resign the current position. If they are elected the board

will then appoint someone to fill that position, if they do not

win they would serve out the term of their current position.

Linda Masters asked that there be an explanation of the

change to clarify exactly what was being voted on. Craig

Foster gave an explanation and Cary asked for a vote. The

vote was 26 for the change and 14 against.

There was a question on the cost of the Christmas party,

it’s $10 for members, $20 for non members.

New Business:

December Ladies' Night will be December 18th at the Maca-

roni Grill, 6 pm.

Thanks to the Bill and Linda Masters for hosting the Hal-

loween Party. A good time was had by all.

There was a call for any other nominations for the ballot.

All names need to be submitted tonight. Those running for

an office are : President-Dave O’Melia and Renee Morrison

Treasurer: Amy Tepley and Ken Bougger, At Large: Lydell

Otley, Bill Montz and Jim Jensen

Rod Phelps said that on December 16th there will be cruise

starting at the Old Cheney Culver’s and going to Roger’s

collection and then for dinner in Denton at the Legion Club.

Leaving Culver’s at 4 pm.

Jim Jensen gave the answer’s to last months trivia and

one for partici-

pating.

month will be

Chevrolet.

was adjourned

at 8:30 pm.

submitted,

the up coming elections.

I would like to send out a very large thank you to all the

Rebel members that gave to the Forever Angels basket

even though the Club donated $250 dollars. We collected

Scott

Board meeting, will be at Honeycreek in

Waverly on December 11th at 7 pm.

We need reservations as soon as possible for determining room size. All reservations must

be turned in by the 5th of January. Members $10, Non-members $20. Sign up at the club

meeting or through the club secretary or treasurer. If you would like to participate in the

gift exchange, bring a wrapped $15 gift.

GIFT ECHANGE

Everyone wishing to participate brings a wrapped $15 gift. All of the gifts are placed in a pile, separated into men &

women’s and all participants are then given randomly assigned numbers. Then the madness begins. The person who

has the lowest number chooses a gift from the pile, unwraps it, shows everyone, then the second person has the op-

tion of either taking the first person’s already opened gift or unwrapping a new gift of their own. If someone’s al-

ready unwrapped gift is taken from them they have the option of taking someone else’s already unwrapped gift, or

returning to the pile of unwrapped gifts. This proceeds until all the numbers have been drawn, all the gifts un-

wrapped, and all the stealing has been completed. ANY GIFT CAN ONLY BE “STOLEN” 3 TIMES TOTAL, THE

4TH PERSON OWNS IT. The game ends with participant #1 having their selection of any gift, except for the

“OWNED” ones.

Come to the December 19th meeting to cast your vote for next year's open Board positions. The nomination committee has worked hard to give you some great candidates.

In the 1930's and 1940's before there were interstates everyone drove

the old 2 lane highways and back roads. Burma Shave signs would be

posted all over the countryside in farmers fields. They were small red

signs with white letters. Five signs about 100 feet apart, each con-

taining 1 line of a 4 line couplet, with the 5th sign advertising Burma

Shave, a popular shaving cream.
