NEST 529 Education Savings Plans announces sweepstakes to inspire children for their future careers.

The sweepstakes encourages children to creatively express their aspirations by drawing what they want to be when they grow up. From teachers and veterinarians to park rangers and astronauts, children are encouraged to explore the endless possibilities of their futures.
“The first step to accomplishing your dreams is to visualize them,” Nebraska State Treasurer Tom Briese said. “The 'Look to the Future' Art Challenge Sweepstakes gives kids a unique opportunity to envision their potential while also setting them on the path toward educational success.”
The challenge is open to all Nebraska students between the ages of 5 and 10 (as of October 1, 2024) from October 10 to November 10, 2024. To enter, participants should:
Draw their dream job on an 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper using crayons, colored pencils, or other materials.
Mail in a copy of their artwork, along with the completed entry form, by November 10, 2024. The entry form and artwork should be mailed to:
NEST 529 Education Savings Plan
Attn: NEST Art Challenge
P.O. Box 83529
Lincoln, NE 68501

Important Legal Information
An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses associated with municipal fund securities before investing. This and other important information is contained in the fund prospectuses and the NEST Direct College Savings Plan Program Disclosure Statement (issuer’s official statement), which can be obtained at NEST529.com and should be read carefully before investing. You can lose money by investing in an Investment Option. Each of the Investment Options involves investment risks, which are described in the Program Disclosure Statement.

An investor should consider, before investing, whether the investor’s or beneficiary’s home state offers any state tax or other state benefits such as financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors that are only available for investments in such state’s 529 plan. Investors should consult their tax advisor, attorney, and/or other advisor regarding their specific legal, investment, or tax situation.

Union Bank and Trust Company serves as Program Manager for the Plan. The Plan offers a series of Investment Options within the Nebraska Educational Savings Plan Trust (the “Trust”), which offers other Investment Options not affiliated with the Plan. The Plan is intended to operate as a qualified tuition program.

Except for any investments made by a Plan participant in the Bank Savings Underlying Investment up to the limit provided by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance, neither the principal contributed to an account, nor earnings thereon, are guaranteed or insured by the State of Nebraska, the Nebraska State Treasurer, the Nebraska Investment Council, the Trust, the Plan, any other state, any agency or instrumentality thereof, Union Bank and Trust Company, the FDIC, or any other entity.

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.

Canned soup
Granola bars
Fruit snacks
Dry pasta
Spaghetti sauce
Dry soup mixes
Canned meat (chicken, tuna)
Boxed prepared meal kits (Hamburger Helper, Rice-a-Roni)
Peanut butter
Jelly
Canned fruit and vegetables

Single-serve cereals

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!

NCTC PLANS HOLIDAY SHOPPING PROMOTIONS

Nebraska City Tourism & Promotions is once again partnering with local retailers to offer two holiday promotions to shoppers this season – “Shop Nebraska City First” and “Twelve Days of Christmas With Holli Day.”

“Shop Nebraska City First” was introduced in 2021 as a way to encourage shoppers to stay local when doing their holiday shopping. NCTC Executive Director Amy Allgood said the temptation to head to the big city to shop for Christmas gifts can be overwhelming this time of year.

“We know that 70% of every dollar spent locally stays local,” Allgood said. “Beyond the financial, shopping local benefits our neighbors and our community as a whole.”

This year “Shop Nebraska City First” starts November 11 and runs through December 1. With this promotion, for every $25 a shopper spends in a participating location, they will receive a Proof of Purchase voucher. Those vouchers are to be turned into Nebraska City Tourism & Commerce (806 1st Avenue) by the end of the day on Monday, December 2. On Tuesday, December 3, NCTC will go live on their Facebook page to draw winners for prize baskets provided by each of the participating locations. Last year, 17 local retailers participated in the promotion, and more than $62,000 in vouchers was collected at the end of the three-week event.

A complete list of participating retailers in the “Shop Nebraska City First” promotion will be announced on November 8.

The second holiday shopping promotion is “Twelve Days of Christmas with Holli Day.” This promotion is done almost entirely online.

“We premiered Holli in 2020 when people didn’t shop in person much due to COVID restrictions, but she’s been so popular that we keep bringing her back,” Allgood said.

On the twelve weekdays from December 5 through December 20, pictures of the NCTC Elf (Holli Day) visiting various businesses will be posted on the NCTC Facebook page. Each picture is accompanied by a short story and a question about that particular retailer. The public responds to the question in the Comments section and, at the end of each day, a random winner is chosen. That winner is invited to NCTC to select a customized snow globe fitted with a gift card.

A complete list of participating retailers in the “Twelve Days of Christmas with Holli Day” promotion will be announced on December 3.
