2018 Dept. of Nebraska Annual Encampment

The Department of Nebraska will hold its Department Encampment at the Mormon Trail Center at Historic Winter Quarters in Omaha Nebraska on April 14, 2018.
The encampment is hosted by Victor Vifquain Camp No.1. Eugene Mortorff, National Assistant Executive Director will be our guest and representative from the National Organization, SUVCW.

The Memorial Service will begin at 9:30 AM with the regular meeting beginning at 10:00 AM. We will break for lunch around noon at Harold’s Cafe.

Following that we will have an awards ceremony and program with guest speaker, Col. Dwight Lydic, director of the JROTC at Benson High School. The ceremony and program are open to the public.
