Florence Futures Foundation c/o Michael G. Wolf Florence Branch Library 2920 Bondesson Street Omaha, NE 68112-1822 www.HistoricFlorence.org A Florence Futures Foundation Project The online version has clickable links that can help in research. Current Needs A printable version in PDF file format There are several things I need that I do not have access to. Other things have been promised that haven't been delivered, and there are still other items that I have not had the opportunity to research well enough (I am not satisfied with what we have). I am working on all of these, making calls, sending e-mails, etc., but like everyone else, time is always an issue, both for me, and the people I attempt to get in touch with to resolve any of these issues. If anyone can help with any of these items, they would be most welcomed and then I can check them off the list (so far about half of the ones originally posted here have been resolved and thus removed). Some items have been left in place to show the cure but the original item text is struck out. Note for those trying to keep track of changes to this page: I originally did not have dates on the entries. I have since decided that it might be helpful, especially in lieu of having updates along the way. Also, please note that other than the file timestamp at the bottom of the page, that there is not a way to know if changes have been made (document not being versioned). There are several sections within the page and therefore, I add updates in the middle of the page to entries that it applies to, and also new entries are made within each appropriate section. The PDF version (link at top) is made by copying this page as a displayed HTML page and pasting it into a MS Word document, then creating the PDF file from the document. The PDF file has the time that it was last saved in the footer of the pages. I attempt to keep the this page and the PDF file in sync but have found that a couple of times that I forgot about making the PDF version until the files were already published. In other words, always go by the web page contents. The PDF version was made in case you want to print out the page for convenience. It does not have the clickable links as the online page does (they can help your research efforts). Thanks. • Things Promised but not delivered yet. o 2004-06-29: Diane Lemen is supposed to send me updated information about NOCC officers 521 days ago. o 2004-06-29: John Lemen is supposed to send me some information about Florence Arts and Humanities, in particular, the logo of the Florence Arts and Humanities. I did not actually speak to John directly on this but I did speak to Diane Lemen about this and she promised to pass it on to John. o 2004-06-29: Diane Lemen is supposed to send me some photos and media that she put together on Jeff Frolio that was shown at the community gathering at "The City Hall" following the funeral. Diane had asked if I would create a section on the website where people could submit their thoughts about Jeff. The idea was to help a grieving community. I created the Jeff Frolio page and a page where we would post comments submitted. Diane was to mention the page at the community gathering following the funeral and ask people to submit their thoughts. As soon as she finished the picture collection, she would submit it as well. Since the data size would be larger than what e-mail allowed, I created an FTP upload directory and sent an FTP program already configured to upload to that location to Diane and John. As you can see by visiting the page where we would post comments submitted, to this day, I have not received Florence Futures, Inc. - c/o Michael G.

As you can also see from the date (2004-06-29), this all took place 521 days ago. o 2004-07-06: Laura Hayden is supposed to send me updated information about the Florentine Players. She sent me an e-mail ("Bob if this links to you- I have a few changes on the Florentine Players events. Let me know and I will e-mail them on Thanks Laura Hayden"). I replied the same day. Sixteen days later, on 2004-07-22, I sent another response asking what happened. The response was "Like got in the way; maybe later today." I'm still waiting for the updates. It has been 514 days. ° Update: (2004-08-04): I called the Florentine Players contact phone number to see if anyone could tell me more about the Luau Murder Mystery play that the Florenteenies were putting on. The phone had been forwarded to Laura Hayden's phone. She said that she was now in the play, although she had not originally planned to be in the play. She said that the audience is from the Prickly Pineapple Company. The attendees learn this when they call to purchase tickets. Other than that we have about all there is to say about it. Laura said that she still plans to send some additional data about the Florentine Players soon. Since then, it has been only 485 days. o 2005-09-24: Laura Hayden is supposed to send me Jim Adams contact information; Jum is the director of the October 2005 Murder Mystery. I called the general number for information and Laura answered. She said that she missed the last Florentine Players meeting so she did not know the title of the October Murder Mystery. I asked if she had contact informationf or Jim Adams but she said that she didn't have time to deal with it at this time (she had kids coming and supper, etc.). She said that she had my phone number and e-mail so she would send it after eating. I'm still waiting for the information. It has been 69 days. o 2004-07-11: Larry Reynard is supposed to send me updated information about Miller Park- Minne Lusa Neighborhood Association. It has been 509 days. ° Update: (2004-07-27 & 2004-07-31): I called Larry again since I had not heard from him. I left a message. Larry returned my call but I was away. He explained that he works nights and that the best time to catch him is around 3 in the afternoon. ° Update: (2004-08-04): I called Larry again since I had not been able to get in touch with him and since it was right before the August 5 meeting. He said that the August 5th meeting is sort of like their annual picnic meeting. He said that it might be a good time to have a semi-board meeting and see what information he could gather up. He plans to send new data soon. Since then, it has been only 485 days. • Things I would like to have. o 2005-01-01: New Events data for 2005. On Decembernight, 31st the midwebsite started showing the new2005 events page. Disappointingly the 2005 events page is lacking even though it is being displayed. This is why I needed the 2005 data before the end of 2004. The only things I can predict are Florence Days 2005 but not the details. It shows a row of question marks for some data pertaing to Florence Days 2005. Florence Futures, Inc. - c/o Michael G.

My question is why could this information not be provided by our own group? o 2003-06-01: Florence Futures ° Photos* of Florence Futures meetings. ° Attendance of Florence Futures meetings. (Attendance form is available from Private page index) ° Florence Futures meeting agenda (before the meeting). This information will be for Florence Futures access only. ° Florence Futures meeting notes/recaps (after the meeting). This information is for Florence Futures access only. From Liz, I have received notes for the July 15, 2003, April 20, 2004, and the June 21st, 2004 meetings. ° For every Florence Futures meeting that I have attended, someone has scribbled some notes, even though they might not have thought of it as "meeting notes" or "meeting minutes." I would like for everyone to look back in his or her journals, notebooks, and miscellaneous notes to see what we can compile for the meeting minutes that we are missing. I can recall the time we met in the different places of the library, where I sat, and I can see the faces that were there, but I can't exactly put a date on those meetings (which month). If you have any notes that show who attended, it could help in this endeavor. Also, if you can do the same as I have in attempting to collect mental images of who was there, even without the date, let me know who you recall attending the various meetings.
