The Omaha-Council Bluffs Miniature Guild

    Monthly Thursday Meetings
    Each month the Shoe Box Bunch gets together for a short
    business meeting followed by a workshop.  Meetings are similar
    to Omaha – Council Bluffs Miniature Guild meetings.

    The Shoe Box Bunch meets on the fourth Thursday of every
    month at 7:00 pm (alternate Thursdays are scheduled when the
    meeting conflicts with Thanksgiving). Meetings are held year
    round at the La Vista Community Center, 8116 Park View
    Boulevard, and they last about 2 hours.

    If you’re considering membership you may attend up to two
    meetings for free.  If you wish to attend additional meetings you
    will need to join the club.
THE SHOE BOX BUNCH
    Joining the club
    To join simply come to a meeting
    and give the treasurer cash or a
    check payable to the Shoe Box
    Bunch for your annual dues.  
    Annual dues are $15.  
    Membership in the National
    Association of Miniature
    Enthusiasts (NAME) is not
    required for Shoe Box
    members.  
    The club strives to share its hobby with the
    community whenever possible.  We have been
    fortunate to have an exhibit along with the Omaha –
    Council Bluffs Miniature Guild at the Durham
    Western Heritage Museum for the last several
    holiday seasons.  

    Once every two years the club contributes gifts,
    raffle and auction items to the Omaha – Council
    Bluffs Miniature Guild’s exhibit and sale. Club
    members have the opportunity to exhibit and/or sell
    their work, and  to view displays and purchase items
    from dealers from all over the country. In addition, a
    number of workshops are available at this event.
    Typically half-day workshops are offered as well as
    simple make-and-take workshops.

    Each year, the club members have the opportunity
    to participate in the Omaha – Council Bluffs
    Miniature Guild’s day long workshop called
    Nebraska State Day.  State Days are a NAME
    concept and are held in many locations throughout
    the country. These events give miniaturists a
    chance to enjoy a day of socializing with other
    miniaturists from our own club as well as some who
    travel from out of state to join us. By the end of the
    day, each participant will have a nearly completed
    roombox or similar project to take home.
