Welcome! Thank you for joining us at the Cornhusker Roundup!
Wear your name tag at all times–it is your admission to all events.
Events are in the Palace Ballroom unless otherwise noted.
Parental Responsibility
Parents are responsible for the safety and appropriate behavior of their accompanying children.
Due to the volume of complaints, children twelve and under are not allowed in the main meeting hall. There is a closed circuit TV room available for children and their parents at no cost for the children. Children must be supervised at all times.
Ice Cream Social
Generous servings of ice cream and toppings for $2.00. Holiday Ballroom after the Friday night meeting.
Parking
Due to a shortage of parking Friday and Saturday nights, auxiliary parking is available on the north side of Mercy Road just west of 72nd Street in the Omaha Tower parking lot. A shuttle bus will run between the parking lot and the Holiday Inn every 15 minutes from 6 PM until Midnight.
Unauthorized and illegal parking continue to be areas of concern. Due to the size of our conference we are under the watchful eye of the fire marshall from a safety viewpoint. Be sure to park only in authorized parking areas. Vehicles blocking fire lanes, parked in grassy areas, or any other unauthorized yellow marked areas will be towed at the owner’s expense.
Convention Related Sales
The Cornhusker Roundup policy is that the sale of AA/Al-Anon/Alateen related materials is only permitted in the AA Central Office Store, the Al-Anon Office Store, and Dicobe CD’s. All others are asked to refrain.
Local AA
Information on AA groups in the greater Omaha area is available in the Central Office Store in Salon C.
Meals
Meals are on your own. Several restaurants are within walking distance of the Holiday Inn.
Reserve Seating
The only “reserved” seating is the chairs designated for the guest speakers, their spouses, and the hearing impaired. Cloth “RESERVED” signs are on these chairs. All other seating is on a first-come basis. Reserving multiple seats is stronglly discouraged. We appreciate your cooperation and consideration in this matter.
