[Jeff Ingraham <jeff_ingraham@xxxxxxxxx>]

With all this talk about the WPC Club, I thought I
would post this info about the WPC Club National meet
which this year is right  here in SNOWY omaha
Nebraska!
(Snowy now but always hot in July!)
Anyway I am hopeful we can have a major Imperial
presence at this years meet.    
With a little luck I may even be giving rides in my 65
Ghia limo!!!
My brother and I are both helping to host the event.  
I heard great things about last years meet in
Minneapolis although my schedule kept me from
attending!
Anyway here is the web page with the info

A driving tour is scheduled to the Henry Doorley Zoo.
The zoo complex includes the Desert Dome, Aquarium,
Jungle, and IMAX Theater. The zoo was recently named
the #1 Family Friendly Vacation Spot in the U.S., by
the Disney-owned Family Fun magazine. What a great way
to spend the day.

In the evening we have scheduled The River City Star
Boat Cruise. The cruise includes dinner and mood music
from a small jazz band.

WEDNESDAY JULY 14

We have bus tours going to Girls and Boys Town and the
Durham Western Heritage Museum. Nearly everyone has
heard of  Father Flanagan and the home he established
to help wayward youth. Here is our opportunity to tour
this remarkable facility. Lunch will be at Girls and
Boys Town.  After lunch our busses will take us to the
Durham Western Heritage Museum. The museum is housed
in Union Station, built by the Union Pacific Railroad
as a showpiece in the city of their headquarters. In
1972 it was donated to the city and became the home of
the Durham Western Heritage Museum.

THURSDAY JULY 15

Two fascinating museums are on the program for today,
the Strategic Air and Space Museum, and the Speedway
MotorsMuseum. The Speedway Motors Museum features the
Smith  Collection, one of the finest automotive,
racing and toy museums in America. The collection has
numerous vehicles, including a Tucker, vintage and
exotic racing engines, 5,000 tin'toy racecars, and 600
pedal cars. The Strategic Air and Space Museum was
opened in May 1996, and preserves aircraft and
missiles and includes an aircraft restoration gallery.

FRIDAY JULY 16

Today we have a little business to attend to before we
break up and go on some driving tours. At 9:30 AM the
Annual Membership Meeting will take place at the
Embassy Suites.  This meeting will be over by late
morning allowing plenty of time for touring.

Among the suggested tours are: Council Bluffs
featuring the Union Pacific Railroad Museum, Squirrel
Cage Jail Tour, Model Railroad Museum, and the
Confederate Air Force Museum; South Omaha featuring
the President Gerald Ford Birthplace, and the Omaha
Botanical Gardens; North Omaha featuring the Morman
