CONDOLENCES to the FAMILY of...

Nebraska Sponsored TD Ameritrade 529 College Savings Plan Rebranded to Bloomwell 529 Education Savings

Lincoln, Neb. (June 11, 2021) - Nebraska State Treasurer John Murante today announced that the Nebraska sponsored TD Ameritrade 529 College Savings Plan is being rebranded to the Bloomwell 529 Education Savings Plan. The refreshed plan will remain part of the Nebraska Educational Savings Plan Trust (NEST) and continue to be administered by Treasurer Murante, as Trustee. Union Bank & Trust, the program manager for the Nebraska College Savings Program, will take the place of TD Ameritrade in marketing the plan.

The rebranding will take effect July 23, 2021, with a new website debuting the same day. The plan’s investment options will remain the same and no action will be required by account owners or advisors. After the rebranding, account owners will see reduced fees and benefit from the investment expertise of Wilshire Associates. The Nebraska Investment Council will continue to have oversight of the plan’s investments.

Account owners and advisors will be notified in advance of these changes. Until the rebranding occurs, account owners can continue to contribute to their TD Ameritrade 529 College Savings Plan accounts and update their account information; new accounts can also be opened.

“We are pleased to be able to offer participants a lower fee plan with the same investment options and plan features,” stated Treasurer Murante.

These changes will not affect the other three plans in the Nebraska Educational Savings Plan Trust – the NEST Direct College Savings Plan, the NEST Advisor College Savings Plan and the State Farm 529 Savings Plan.

“NEST 529 plans continue to be one of the best ways to save for future educational expenses,” said Jay Steinacher, Union Bank 529 College Savings Manager. “The potential tax benefits plus the quality fund families and investment options make this plan an attractive option for college savers nationwide.”

For more information, account owners should call 877-408-4644.

YOUNG MEMORIAL PARK, MURRAY, NE.

Field Day is coming up fast and if you want to operate with us from the Murray Young Memorial Park Contact Roger, rb55930@windstream.net, soon to lock in our plans. We’d also love for you or anyone to stop by for a visit. We do tend to be a bit “laid back” in our operating philosophy, and would enjoy visits from friends we don’t see too often.

We are still “tailgating” in the parking lot at Burger King most Tuesdays, weather permitting, around six-ish.

 MURRAY SWIMMING POOLS

The Murray Village Ordinance 150.02 on swimming pools directs that a resident must FIRST get a permit through the Cass County Zoning Office, (402) 296-9359. Once the County Permit is obtained, it must be presented to the Village Clerk's Office, either in office or drop box outside, for review. As long as the pool is constructed WITHIN the resident’s property line, it will be approved through the Village. There is no building permit application fee for swimming pools.

All children need a secure place to learn and grow. The ideal place should be in their own home, however many kids are not that fortunate.

In times of neglect or abuse, a child must sometimes be removed from their home at a moment's noticed and placed in a warm, safe place. Kids of all ages, from birth through high school, sometimes need the help of the Child Saving Institute.

CSI helps foster parents and biological families learn the skills they need for a safe, well-cared-for, and loving family life.During this unsettling time of covid-19, the Murray Christian Church is collecting essential cleaning items for the Child Saving Institute.

If you would like to donate, here are some things they could use:Pine Sol, Lysol Disinfectant Spray, sanitizing wipes, latex and powder-free disposable gloves, (L & XL), and hand sanitizer.

Please bring items to Murray Christian Church, 304 W Young St, Murray, NE on Wednesdays, Thursdays or Fridays, between the hours of 10 - 2:00. You may call the church ahead of time, 402-235-2527, to be sure someone will be there to assist you.

Thank you for helping to keep these children, (and the CSI staff), healthy and happy!

The Conestoga Backpack Program continues to furnish food to local families in need. The program serves the Murray, Nehawka, Union and Beaver Lake areas in southeast Nebraska, and will not turn anyone away.

Just by adding a few of the items listed below to your shopping list and picking them up, you'll be helping someone in a big way. Keep in mind that some of the children are very young and are possibly 'preparing' their own meals, so easy-to-open containers are a good option for little hands.

Also needed are hygienic supplies, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, cotton swabs, tissues and toilet paper.

To make a monetary donation instead, a check made payable to 'CONESTOGA BACKPACK PROGRAM' may be mailed or deposited at Cornerstone Bank, 102 W Main St, Murray, NE 68409. 100% of all monies collected is used for food and hygienic supplies for the families.

To have the items picked up, call Jill at 402-660-3543 to make arrangements. As another alternative, you may drop them off at Cornerstone Bank in Murray or at their Beaver Lake location.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
