THIS
MONTH’S MEETING:
May
21,
2011
(Note earlier date than usual!!!)
Cannon Shoot
20100 S. 25th, Hickman, NE (NOT
Legacy Estates!)
This will be a special meeting at the home of
Mark Nicholas just south of Lincoln (see maps below). We will
begin at
6:00 p.m.
with a pot luck dinner. The Round Table will provide sloppy joes,
hot dogs,
buns, mustard, ketchup, paper plates, and plastic 'silverware'; please
bring your own drink, any more exotic condiments you may
desire,
and then an item to share: if your name begins with N-Z, please
bring a
salad or side dish; if your name begins with A-M, please bring a
dessert (this is reversed from last time!).
So that we know how many sloppy joes and hot dogs are needed, please
let Steve Guenzel
know
how many of either you want by calling him at 475-4240 (you can leave a
message
with your name, how many others will be with you, and how many sloppy
joes and/or hot dogs your group will want), or send an email
reply. There is a chance of inclement weather, so please also
leave a phone number where you can be reached on Saturday, in case we
need to cancel or move this event. Please
respond by Wednesday, May 18, so appropriate items may be purchased.
The program will be presented by Battery B, 1st New York Light
Artillery,
which is based out of Fort Kearney (though I believe some of the
members
are from Hastings). They will bring their Three Inch Ordinance
Rifle (named
Dorothy, because 'she' is from Kansas) and fire a number of blank
rounds for us. They will
demonstrate
the duties of the various members of the gun crew. They also plan
to stay
until dusk, as night firings are quite exciting. Below are some
photos from
the similar event that the Round Table had in May of 2007.
Here are
some maps to help you find Mark's house at 20100 S. 25th, Hickman,
Nebraska. The first shows southern Lincoln and the best way to
get down to near Mark's:

event in 2007:
