Tri-City MIG enthusiastic planning committee includes (Denise Waterfield, Melissa Florell, Heather Kaestner, and
Steph Burge). The planning committee has met twice this year, the last meeting being on 2/23/20. Big ideas included
planning for two events a) cornhole tournament at Platte Valley Brewing scheduled for June 11, 2020, at 6:00 PM,
and b) an afternoon/evening at the World Theater in Kearney, committee members considered a late Fall 2020 date.
The pandemic has stopped event planning and subsequent hosting in the spirit of protection. The committee wishes
to reconvene at the end of the pandemic, our vision for 2021 is to host above-identified “big idea” events in safety.

Due to COVID-19 many of our regular events were cancelled. We plan to resume them as soon as it is safe to do so.
We sent several members to the 2019 NNA convention in Kearney in October of 2019, welcomed new members to
our area, and met live two times at the Steel Grill in Scottsbluff to discuss business.
Our annual “Welcome/Welcome back” picnic is scheduled for August 24 at the Scottsbluff YMCA Trails West
outdoor facility.
