Midlands Community Foundation Matches Gifts

Manley, NE [December 29, 2014] - The Lofte Community Theatre is excited to announce that they are participating in a fund-matching program with the Midlands Community Foundation. For the month of December through January 5, 2015, all donations given to the Lofte Community Theatre in Manley will be matched up to $5,000 per donor by the Midlands Community Foundation. Gifts above $5,000 will receive a pro-rated match from the organization.

The Midlands Community Foundation is focused on assisting with improving the quality of life in both Cass and Sarpy counties. They have been working towards this goal since 1984 and since that time have awarded over $7 million in community grants.

Donations can be made to the Lofte through the ‘Donate Online’ button on their website, Lofte.com. Donations may also be made by check or cash directly through the Lofte box office. Those with questions may contact the Lofte box office at (402) 234-2553.

A Personal Note from the Murray Editor...

During this season of love and generosity, I feel the need to share this tragic story. Amber Gray, is my cousin's grand-daughter. Amber just celebrated her 14-year birthday at Thanksgiving time. Three and a half weeks later, at the beginning of Christmas week, she was still a healthy, happy young girl. Overnight, what was thought to possibly be strep throat, was quickly diagnosed as influenza, type 'A'.

Amber Gray

Sadly, one bad turn after another occurred and on Christmas day, while everyone else was celebrating the joy of the season with loved ones, Amber's heart stopped. The 'paddles' briefly brought it back to its' job of pumping life through her young body, but on December 28th, Amber lost the fight.
Now, after 6 days in the hospital and with pending funeral expenses, Amber's parents are facing a huge financial burden. (Amber has a little brother, Aidan, too.) Please visit the link below, where Amber's uncle, Adam Broman, has set up a campaign to help. Amber's folks would be grateful for any donation you might feel in your heart to help with and it would be sincerely appreciated.

Thank you.

Proposed Louisville City Emergency Alerts
"May you live in interesting times"

Recently we were asked by several Communities in Cass to adapt our Mobile Messaging Technology to provide for City Alerts via TEXT Message.
The hope is that there is never a need for such an Alert but if there ever was, it would be very comforting to know that such a system could deliver a message to thousands in seconds with greater than 93% open rates.
The cost of this technology is far beyond the reach of small communities, and it is mostly coincidental that it is available affordably here. Elmwood was the first Community in Nebraska to adopt this technology on 12/3/2014 - see attached Press Release..
The City Council will hear the issue this evening at the 7PM City Council Meeting - Presenting this Proposal will be the Woman that created the Original Cass County Internet Task Force - Marie Gregoire of Murdoch - Get a chance to Meet a True Cass County Technology Pioneer and hear Marie Speak on this new City Alert Proposal
Thank you, and stay warm - John Harrington - 402-968-0821

See what's for sale at Cass County Classified Ads
Click Here>>

Beginning with the Wed 5/21/2014 Newsletter all of the Communities will be able to post, buy, sell ads for general merchandise such as mowers, baby cribs, cars, computers and Real Estate.
We especially hope that the classified ads will be used to post Jobs, look for positions, and post special events, birthdays, church events and Garage Sales.

Certainly there are lots of places on the Internet to post ads, but I know that some folks are uncomfortable with using EBay or Craigs List - this is just your neighbors and should be a bit less scary.

Step 1: you do need to have an account, and an email address to manage your ads. You will be notified to renew your ad, you can change info, pricing, and pics as long as you have this account.

Step 2: create an ad, indicate if it is Elmwood, Eagle, Louisville and Alvo and post it

Step 3: wait for approval. We will approve ads as close to immediately as possible. We need to take a quick peek and make sure that it is a real ad, and if anything needs fixing we will fix it.

Step 4: post it to Facebook if you like!

Ads will now show everywhere, regardless if it was posted in Elmwood or Alvo. Our number one request was to post once, and make it visible everywhere. Ads will also be Goggle/Twitter searchable as well as location, travel directions searchable.

So, get cracking! Create that account, and post everything in your garage and basement!

If you need some assistance TEXT us at 4029680821
