Combat Cabin Fever with NP Dodge Open Houses!! It's going to be over 50 Degrees

The definition of 'Cabin Fever'...

Boredom, restlessness, or irritability that results from a lack of environmental stimulation, as from a prolonged stay in a remote, sparsely populated region or a confined indoor area.

NP Dodge has got you covered this weekend! I just looked a moment ago and see that we have well over 100 properties here in the metro area that will be open this weekend. With 50+ degree weather I can't think of a better way to combat that 'Cabin Fever' that you are experiencing from being indoors due to the weather.

You can view and print a complete list of NP Dodge open houses which is updated to the minute by clicking the link at the top of www.npdodge.com or directly by clicking the link or logo below:

The Omaha Chamber Announces Their Position...

Downtown Stadium

In support of the conclusions of the Stinson baseball stadium committee, the Chamber board of directors approved the following statement today.

The Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce supports the effort to keep the NCAA men's College World Series in Omaha for the long-term.

Our interest in this stems from the fact that each year, the CWS generates nearly $40 million in economic activity throughout the entire Omaha community. The importance of signing an unprecedented 20-year contract represents close to a $1 billion economic impact.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Omaha - no other city has been given this type of opportunity. Throughout the process, we have supported the work of the Stinson committee to determine location, funding and design of a community ballpark.

We support the committee's recommendations presented to the NCAA and will assist in generating community consensus to move forward.

This is about more than the baseball stadium. This is about two exciting economic development opportunities: one on the north side of the city and the other on the south side.

It is now time for Chamber members to rally around this once in a lifetime opportunity for our community. I encourage you to e-mail your city councilman and let him know that Omaha businesses agree that this proposal is what is best for the entire city.

I am including a list of city councilmen and their e-mail addresses. Make your position known as stadium-related issues come up for a vote.

District 1: Jim Suttle jsuttle@ci.omaha.ne.us
District 2: Frank Brown fbrown@ci.omaha.ne.us
District 3: Jim Vokal jvokal@ci.omaha.ne.us
District 4: Garry Gernandt ggernandt@ci.omaha.ne.us
District 5: Dan Welch dwelch@ci.omaha.ne.us
District 6: Franklin Thompson fthompson@ci.omaha.ne.us
District 7: Chuck Sigerson, Jr. csigerson@ci.omaha.ne.us

Regards,

David G. Brown
President and CEO
Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce
