Remember to please call and cancel your meal if you are unable to attend. Special Event Registration Registration is required for some of the special events at the Center. Sign-up sheets are in the back of the lunch sign-up book. Be sure to sign-up for lunches and special events. Just signing the special events sheet does not get you a meal. 1. You may register for lunch or an event by calling the Community Center at 402-331-3455 or sign-up in person. 2. Besides your spouse, please do not have someone else sign you up for lunches or events. We often have people left off the list because they thought someone else was going to sign them up. When a special event is full, a waiting list will be started. Any openings that occur will be filled in the order of the waiting list. Fees will usually be paid at the event, but sometimes you may need to pay in advance. We will let you know if you need to pay in advance. We normally have one van (holding 9 passengers). If needed please try to carpool.
