President’s Message

Newsletter Editor: Tracee Bougger

2702 South Street

Lincoln, NE 68502

Email: traceejean@yahoo.com PH:

September has come and gone way to fast.

Kids/Grandkids are back in school, football

games are going strong, and the car shows

are waning. We still have a few left in

October to attend. Check our newsletter for

a schedule. Thanks to all the participants

for Nebraska's Homecoming. I was able to attend the poker run for Jerry

Stephens in Pawnee City. I saw a few Rebels

and Lincoln people. It was a beautiful day

for a drive. Proceeds went to the Jerry

Stephens Museum at his gas station in Pawnee

City. Jerry died of cancer a few years back

and the museum reflects a lot of his cars

and memorabilia. Another poker run is set

up for Jerry's museum which starts in Hallam

at the Wimmer's and ends in Pawnee City at

the winery. This takes place on October

13th. Get the car out and cruise one last

time and enjoy the fall trees. The board announced the organizations for

donations. They will be distributed in the

next couple of weeks. Watch the newspaper

for an article on the Rebels. The board is

looking into more/different organizations

that support the automotive field. Please attend the Rebels' Halloween Party on

November 3rd at the Masters'. There will be

good food, prizes for best costumes and

karaoke. Hopefully, there is an early game

time that Saturday. We are still taking nominations for

President, Treasurer and an At Large

position on the board. We will be voting on

officers at the December meeting at Parkers.

If you haven't had the opportunity to serve

the club, please nominate yourself or have

someone do it for you. These can be very

rewarding positions and fresh ideas are

always needed. A big thank you to Mark for the $2200 check

he presented to the club at the last meet-

ing. The cone races and SCCA have been a

big boost to the contributions for the Re-

bels. Thanks again for all the volunteers

who worked the races. I look forward to seeing everyone at the

next meeting. Hope to see you all on the

road soon! Cary Petersen, President

Lincoln Air Park really came alive

when the SCCA (Sports Car Club of

America) came to town. At our last

meeting, Jim McNeil introduced Matt

from SCCA. Matt said it’s been 5 years

since they moved their event to Lincoln

and they’ve been privileged to have the

Rebel’s involved for 4 years. This year

on the practice track there were 3,000

runs. SCCA fund their foundation

which sponsors the Street Survival

program, which is a teen driving pro-

gram. This year they donated $7,000 to

that program. They presented the Re-

bel’s with a check for $2,200. Our club

is a non-profit club and these monies

will be used to fund our community

donations . Pictured at right are Jim,

Matt and Cary with the replica check.

Thanks go out to all whose Rebel vol-

unteers!!
