Keynote Address – Saturday 9 to 10:30 a.m.

Imagine families of all income levels living side-by-side as they did when their neighborhoods originally developed; old houses brought back to life with all their visible character; walk able tree lined streets; neighbors having spontaneous porch parties; children safely playing outdoors…the epitome of good design that improves the quality of life. Nationally known preservation consultant Bob Yapp addresses these realities while discussing a step-by-step process that can help make historic neighborhoods diverse, friendly, rewarding and safe places to live.

Session 1 – Saturday, 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.

A. Early Kitchens and Bathrooms. What should you consider when renovating your

kitchen or bath? Dr. Marilyn Castoo from Virginia Tech University’s School of Architecture and Design examines the development of kitchens and baths in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to help you use these functional spaces in ways that honor the past, but address your current needs.

B. Exterior Woodwork. John Leeke, American preservationist, discusses the steps to stabilize and save deteriorated exterior woodwork. He demonstrates how good design, proper materials selection and effective installation methods along with proper rehabilitation will reduce maintenance and extend the life of your exterior woodwork

C. Lessons Learned in Commercial Restoration Projects. Where do you begin

when rehabbing an older commercial property? Local architects Al Macchietto and Jerry Berggren along with architectural historian Melissa Dirr cover the ups and downs of older commercial rehabilitation with wit, humor and down right fun.

D. Nobody told me I Had to Have a Permit. Kevin Denker, chief city housing

inspector, and Jay Davis, chief city building inspector, describe how codes and ordinances affect older homes and commercial properties and outline the responsibilities owners, operators and occupants of existing structures have.

E. Buying and Selling Older Properties. Tim Reeder, a real estate broker and agent

specializing in older homes, shares his knowledge in what sells and what doesn’t in the older home market. As someone who has restored his own fixer upper, he also shares what it takes to rehab an older home and the benefits this can bring.

Session 2 – Saturday, 1:45 to 2:45 p.m.

A. Interior Woodwork. As an apprentice to a German furniture maker, Bob Yapp learned the “right way” to restore anything made of wood. He discusses innovative and cost effective techniques for wood restoration that do not use toxic chemicals.

B. Researching the History of your Property. Who lived in your house before you

bought it? Was that creaky old garage a stable? What was your neighborhood like 80 years ago? How old is your property? Architect Jennifer Honebrink, an experienced researcher of both commercial and residential properties, points you in the right direction to find answers to these questions and more using local resources.

C. Revitalizing Urban Neighborhood Commercial Districts. The Nebraska Main

Street program isn’t just for small towns. J.L. Schmidt and Liz Chase from Nebraska Main Streets show how Omaha’s neighborhood commercial districts can benefit from the training, historic preservation ethic, and place building principles that are a part of the Main Street Four Point ApproachTM.

D. What Style is my House? Architectural historian Melissa Dirr uses a multitude of Omaha residential properties to illustrate house styles and discusses basic stylistic forms that may be used to identify your own house style.
E. Lead Paint Removal. Is it dangerous to remove old paint? Will my family be safe? What should do I do about the peeling paint on my older property? Reid Steinkraus, supervisor for the Douglas County Health Department, lays out steps for safe work practices in both wet and dry removal of lead paint including how to clean-up and check your work.

Session 3 – 3:00 to 4:00 p.m.

A. From the Ground Up. Is your dream of a rumpus room in the basement hampered by bulging walls and water on the floor? Bill Kirby with Thrasher Basement Systems walks attendees step-by-step in understanding how moisture and structural problems happen, how to identify these problems in their own property and what repair options are available.

B. Nebraska’s New Historic Tax Incentive. Can I get financial assistance for restoring my historic

property? The Nebraska Valuation Incentive Program is a property tax incentive that gives owners a temporary “hold” on property tax valuation increases when they substantially rehabilitate an historic property. Jill Dolberg of the Nebraska State Historical Society discusses eligibility and the types of work that qualify.

C. Cheap, Quick and Easy: Early Imitative Architectural Materials. Dr. Pamela Simpson, a

professor of art history at Washington and Lee University, explores examples of the ‘cheap, quick and easy’ building materials used in the 1870-1930 time period. Rock face concrete block imitated rusticated stone. Pressed metal looked like stone, wood or even brick on exterior siding. On interiors, the popular pressed metal ceilings looked like decorative plaster. Linoleum simulated ceramic tile, mosaic, marble, wood and carpet patterns. Pamela will show how the history and development of these new materials, reveals not only the intersection between technology and popular culture, it also reveals some of the most deeply held values of the period.

D. Perspectives on Period Lighting. Join Rejuvenation’s senior designer and historian, Bo Sullivan, for an overview of American residential lighting from 1880 to 1960. Bo discusses key terms and advances, the major historical style traditions that define this era and will show vintage and contemporary installations that demonstrate the beauty and design integrity possible with period-appropriate lighting.

E. Mold – Fact/Fiction/Realistic Solutions. Is mold on your walls a cosmetic problem, a health concern

or an indicator of underlying damage? Dr. Johnna Roberts will provide basic information about mold, mold clean-up and remediation. Learn when to call in a professional and what to look for in a mold assessment/remediation company.

Session 4 – Saturday, 4:15 – 5:15 p.m.

A - Lessons Learned in Restoring Older Homes. Want to restore your older home, but don’t know

where to start. Don Browers, Tim Reeder and Pat and Heather Dugan will share their lessons learned on rehabbing old homes. Join this experienced group in a round table discussion of their adventures.

B. Baby it’s Cold Outside. Are you afraid of that monster in your basement and those noisy radiators? Do

you dream of central air conditioning? Pat Ryan, experienced HVAC engineer, discusses issues relating to heating, ventilation and cooling systems in older buildings and the integration of original systems with newer technologies.

C. Discover Your Homes Original Colors. What colors should you paint your house? Architectural

historian Dena Sanford shows how to analyze the original paint colors of a building and how to choose a historically accurate paint scheme. She identifies resources and illustrates a step-by-step process to gather information and make your home’s inherent beauty shine through.

D. Metals 101. Is that iron or bronze? Should that metal be striped? Join metals conservator Deborah Long in an exploration of metal and their historic finishes. Learn how to identify and preserve metals in and around your older property.

Hands-on Workshops – Sunday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 10 a.m. to Noon

A. Window Repair. Are you ready to save some windows? During this four hour workshop John Leeke will guide you in the practical methods of maintenance and repair of older and historic wood windows. Learn specific treatments for the most common window problems: broken glass and sash cords, rotten sash joints, weathered sills, bowed meeting rails, frame joint decay and more.

B. Mud Slinging - Flat and Decorative Plaster. Back by popular demand, learn how to repair plaster

walls. Dick Grace will show how to salvage loose and cracked plaster and explain to attendees how decorative plaster is made.

C. Woodturning Basics. Have you always wanted to learn how to create your own stair balustrades or spindles for your front porch? Join master carpenter Chuck Suiter as he shows you the steps for working a wood lathe.

D. Electrical Basics. Master electrician John Berger will teach you the basics of electrical safety for your home. Learn the do’s and don’ts of changing light switches, lights and receptacles.

Don Browers – Lessons Learned – Residential Projects

Don Browers has been writing a monthly column about old house renovation for more than 13 years called “The Old House Mechanic.” The column of do-it-yourself tips, restoration hints and perspectives on old house living appears in the Dundee Memorial Park Association newsletter and various times has appeared in other neighborhood newsletters. For about 18 years he and his wife, Marjorie, have been restoring a 1921 brick four-square house in Dundee. He started writing the column, because it is easier to write about old house renovation than to actually do it. His columns are written from the viewpoint of the average old house owner, because Don does not work in any home remodeling or repair business. To pay for his hobby of restoring his house, Don works as an account executive for KETV Channel 7.

    2014 GIVING REPORT It’S No Surprise to Us, Our Donors and the Giving Community Are Among the Most Generous in the Nation - and They Made 2014 an Incrdible Year!

    2014 GIVING REPORT It’s no surprise to us, our donors and the giving community are among the most generous in the nation - and they made 2014 an incrdible year! The donors working through the Omaha Community Foundation had a record year. They gave over $173 million to nonprofits which ranked 5th in the nation for most generous among community foundation donors. That level of giving surpassed community foundations in Chicago, New York, and Boston according to the annual report published by CF Insights. Another important milestone for the Foundation was achieved this year. We surpassed $1 billion in assets which make us the 17th largest community foundation nationally. In addition, this was a record year for people joining our family of donors – 159 accounts were opened in 2014. These milestones and record level of growth are important today, but it also means that there will continue to be community investment in our nonprofits long into the future. Our donors love this community and continue to find more ways to make it the best it can be. We exist to help them accomplish those hopes and dreams. Our community’s future is bright. The Omaha Community Foundation connects people who care about our community with the people and nonprofits who are doing the most good here. Over $1.2 billion has been granted to nonprofits on behalf of our donors. And since 1982, our family of over 1,300 donors has given over $1.6 billion to charitable giving accounts at the Omaha Community Foundation. Much has been accomplished, but we are ready to do more.

    2016 GIVING REPORT As We Reflect on the Success of 2016 and Look Ahead, We Are Grateful for the Collective Efforts of All Who Helped Cultivate Generosity This Year

    2016 GIVING REPORT As we reflect on the success of 2016 and look ahead, we are grateful for the collective efforts of all who helped cultivate generosity this year. This year our donors gave 11,000 grants—a record!—to 2,349 nonprofits. And we opened 154 new donor accounts, which helps further expand our reach. With more than $1 billion in assets, we are now the 15th largest community foundation in the country, according to CF Insights. While these numbers are impressive, our biggest successes are reflected in the relationships we continue to build across our community. In 2016, we worked to deepen our impact throughout the region. We launched The Landscape, a community indicator project that uses publicly available data to gage how the Omaha metro is faring in six areas community life. This project reaffirms our commitment to meeting the community’s greatest needs, while expanding the breadth and depth of knowledge we offer. The Landscape is a space where each of us can dig deeper and learn about this community beyond our own unique experience; our hope is that this project helps inform our own work, and the efforts of our many partners and collaborators across the Omaha-Council Bluffs region. Each and every day these partners—our board, staff, the area’s nonprofit sector, and our family of donors—are driven to make this community a better place for all. Together we seek to inspire philanthropy that’s both big and small—whether it’s a new $10 donation given during Omaha Gives!, a leader influenced through our Nonprofit Capacity Building Program, or a donor that witnesses the tangible impact of their substantial gift.
