Teammates Mentoring Program

Scott Frost, Wide receivers coach for U. of Oregon
Teammates is a mentoring program started by Tom and Nancy Osborne in 1991 that aims to provide support and encouragement to school aged youth, and after meeting Tom Osbourne at a Teammates fundraiser a few years ago, I decided I wanted to sign up as volunteer.

A couple of years passed and I still had not signed up. Well, a couple of months ago a friend of mine nominated me to be a mentor. Teammates contacted me, but again I failed to sign up.

I had every excuse in the book. What could I teach a kid? I don’t even have kids of my own. Why would they want me to mentor them? The only person I mentor is my dog Oscar. I am too busy and my work schedule varies.

Then I read an article about former Husker Scott Frost. Reading this changed everything and made me jump off the fence. Click here to read the article.

Small Town Outside Omaha Ranked Again!

Another smaller town outside Omaha city limits has been recognized! We always hear about the good things going on in Sarpy County, this time it is Washington County. A small town called Arlington ranked second place for America’s Best Places to Raise Kids 2011, in an article published in Bloomberg Businessweek. The population is only a little over 1,100, which is the smallest out of the other top ranked cities. The number one ranked is Blacksberg, Virginia. Blacksberg is home to the prestigious collage called Virginia Tech.

I used to live in Washington County and starting roughly 5 mile northwest of Omaha, the atmosphere is light years from Omaha. I really was impressed with the school and community support they have.

The best time to check Arlington out is during the Washington County Fair. There are all sorts of things to do for kids and adults. Listed below is a link to the article and some more information about the town of Arlington.
