There are a few groups that were formed during work days that are still functioning.  Check them out if you would like to.

Jimbo Diner Breakfast - 4th Tuesday of Each Month

Tuesday, 27 OCT 2009 at about 7:30 A.M. about 30 Omaha Works former employees or retirees will gather at the Jimbo Diner for breakfast.   The location is also knows as La Vista Keno.  About 30 showed up last month and it was fun breaking bread with friends.  I know the hour is early for retirees, but I think you will find it a fun time seeing other "pretty well grown-up" friends. 

Jimbo Diner is located on 83rd Street about a block south of Harrison Street.   Turn south on 83rd Street from Harrison and follow 83rd, dog legging first left than right while driving to the south.  Continue south a few hundred feet and you should see the Jimbo Diner over your right shoulder.  You enter Jimbo Diner on the east side of the shopping center building.  

Some breakfasts are available for less than $5.00 and the coffee is free.  I've heard no complaints about the food or service.  Tipping the wait staff is expected.  After breakfast, Tom Baye leads the group in a short meeting where information of interest to retirees is discussed.

The changes to the email address file follow:

The Fourth Tuesday Breakfast Group
