FBLA Students - Remembering our Fallen

Yesterday 15 students, members of the Future Business Leaders of America along with their sponsors, from Elmwood-Murdock High School placed flags in the yard at the museum – each flag representing a U. S. service member who has died during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Each of the 2,044 red flags represent a service member who died in Afghanistan; the 4,488 yellow flags represent those who lost their lives in Iraq. Each of the 6,532 flags has the name and state of residence of the service members. Those from Nebraska are represented in the outline of our state.
We thank the FBLA students for this display to help us understand the number of service members who have paid the ultimate price - 6,532 – almost ten times the population of Elmwood. Unfortunately, as each day goes by, this number only increases. Please stop by the museum and take a few moments to view the display and remember those who have died for our freedom and those who are continuing to fight each day.

Then & Again...

Then and Again will be holding a Grand Opening on Saturday, November 24^th, Holiday Extravaganza day! The newly renovated Masonic Lodge at the corner of 4^th and D Street is now a store with a little of this and a little of that. They have repurposed and used furniture (some old and some newer) like hutches, end tables, dining room tables, bedroom sets, and desks. There are knick-knacks, candles, purses, and much more! They also accept items for consignment. There will also be a man cave called “Lou’s Garage” for the guys to come in and check out.

Ryan and Kelly Anderson have worked long and hard to renovate the Lodge and are excited to start this new chapter. Make plans to stop in and see what everyone is talking about. RUTALKIN?

Mondays closed Tues, Wed, Fri 10am-6pm Thurs 10-8pm Saturdays 8-4pm Sundays 10-2pm
