Be sure to add a few extra minutes to your travel plans, if you need to go through Murray on Highway 1 in the near future. Work will begin on the roads from Murray west to 84th Street.  The road work will most likely will continue through the fall. There will be a pilot car, so you should expect to wait a few minutes to continue on your journey. For everyone's safety remember to go slowly through the work zone. Above all, be patient and be kind.

PHOTOCONTEST!

NEST 529 College Savings Plan Celebrates
Back-to-School Memories with Photo Contest
10 Scholarship Winners to Receive $2,000 Each to NEST 529 Account

First National Bank of Omaha and Nebraska State Treasurer Don Stenberg today announced the launch of the NEST 529 Back-to-School Photo Drawing, a new scholarship opportunity open to families across the United States.

Beginning today, NEST 529 invites families to capture and submit back-to-school photos of children 8 years old or younger by September 30, 2018, the date the contest closes. Ten randomly selected winners will be awarded $2,000 each in the form of a NEST 529 contribution. Entries will be accepted by mail and online at www.NEST529.com/scholarships.

Each photo should include only one child, who would be the beneficiary of the NEST 529 account if the photo is one of the ten winning photos.

“Back to school is an exciting time for parents and kids alike and a time when memories are made. Because families often capture these milestones through photographs, this scholarship opportunity encourages families to prioritize saving for the future as they celebrate the present moment together,” said Treasurer Stenberg, Trustee of NEST 529. “We are happy to share in the back-to-school memories families will cherish for years to come, while helping families plan for the costs of higher education.”

“At NEST 529, we are constantly brainstorming fun, unique, and accessible ways to help our account owners reach their savings goals, and the back-to-school drawing is one example of how we are working towards that mission,” said Deborah Goodkin, Managing Director, Savings Plans, First National Bank of Omaha. “We look forward to providing families with a financial boost to start the school year and to help prepare ten children and their families for success in the classroom and beyond.”

Scholarship rules and details are available at www.NEST529.com/scholarships and treasurer.nebraska.gov/csp/scholarships.
