Hello Everyone!

Drinking Liberally Lincoln is meeting at Zen's
on the 22nd, 7 Pm to whenever you want to show up or leave.

Barbara Baier will be there to answer questions about her
campaign for County Commissioner, and share a drink with everyone.

Thanks to everyone that came out to Meet Josh, Justin and Matt from New York and welcome them to Nebraska a few weeks ago.

They had a good time meeting everyone, and spending time at the State fair and walking around Lincoln on game day.

A lot has happened over the last few weeks, after the end of the Campaign Conventions, there should be some very good conversations at our next meeting, I hope to see you all there!

Thanks and have a great day!

Paul
