Welcome back to a new FY with SWE. We are so excited to start out our new year with our Get to Know SWE events coming to both Lincoln and Omaha this month. We will be meeting at Corkscrew Wine & Cheese in Rockbrook Village on Thursday, September 12 and on Saturday, September 28 at the Speedway Motors Campus in Lincoln.
This is a great opportunity for you to come and check out our SWE section. Find out what we have in store for our section for this coming year. You do not need to be a member to attend. Bring a friend or a co-worker and let them see what SWE has to offer. The event in Lincoln will be a fun weekend activity for your family also.
We welcome you to bring ideas for tours, maybe the name of a speaker, or a topic that is of interest to you. We like to include both professional and personal development and Work/Life balance topics at our meetings. Some of our past events have included yoga, meal planning, painting class, technical writing, business etiquette, financial planning, just to name a few.
We look forward to getting you involved with SWE.

GET TO KNOW SWE - Lincoln
Our Get to Know SWE event in Lincoln this year will be held at the Speedway Motors Campus, 340 Victory Lane, in Lincoln on Saturday, September 28 during their “Cars & Coffee” event which runs from 8 a.m. – Noon. This will be a great chance to bring your family with you to admire the kind of cars you don’t see very often. Coffee and donuts are free!! You can’t beat that. And you may want to visit the Museum of American Speed. Check them out at this link: https://www.museumofamericanspeed.org/carsandcoffee.html This link also has a good map for parking during the event.
The special guests at this event will be Alex Taylor. She is the co-host of Motor Trend’s Hot Rod Garage. You can read more about how Alex became interested in cars and motors when she was pretty young by visiting the link: https://www.alextaylorracing.com/about-1
Get to Know SWE will plan to meet from 10 – 11 a.m. so that you can meet other SWE members and potential members can learn more about SWE and what it has to offer you. We will also give away door prizes!
We are still trying to determine a good location to meet up and are looking at possibly the Sun Valley Lanes & Games or in front of the Museum of American Speed. For that reason we ask you to RSVP either here or on our Facebook page. Even if you are not sure, please RSVP so that we can send you our final details.
If you have any questions, please contact our Program Development Chair, Janis Pfingsten at easternnebraskaswe@gmail.com or at 402-672-3482.
