			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Each month during the summer, on a Saturday night, we will perform at Soaring Wings Vineyard for Smooth Jazz Saturdays.  Soaring Wings is located just 20 minutes from Omaha on a high hill overlooking the tranquil Platte River Valley 0.7 miles south of Springfield, Nebraska at 17111 S. 138th Street. There is a $5 cover.</p>
<p><strong>Join us Saturday, August 7th! </strong></p>
<p>Directions from Omaha come south on 144th St (Highway 50) until you reach Springfield. After you pass the turnoff to the Sarpy County fairgrounds (Main St.) take your next left, this is Pflug Rd (look for the tourist oriented blue directional signs). Go down Pflug road for 1/2 mile, turn right, this is 138th St. (Dead End road) Proceed south for about a half mile until you see the vineyard on the left, then go up the road to the winery. **If you come through Springfield, turn right on 6th Street &#8211; this is 138th St outside the city limits.**</p>

Thursday the 17th at the Ozone -<br />
Saturday the 19th at the Prestige Lounge<br />
Greetings!</p>
<p>I wanted to let you know that my band Higher Pursuit is having two very special performances this week. Thursday, December 17th at 6:30pm, we are playing at the Ozone at Anthony&#8217;s Steakhouse (72nd &#038; F), and Saturday, December 19th at 6:30pm we are playing at the Prestige Lounge (168th &#038; Pacific) for a Special Christmas Performance to support the Open Door Mission. </p>
<p>Your attendance at Saturday&#8217;s performance at the Prestige Lounge (168th &#038; Pacific) is very important because we are asking everyone to bring a brand new toy for the children who find themselves at the Open Door Mission during the holiday season. The Open Door Mission will have a booth there should you have any questions regarding their ministry.</p>
<p>If you cannot make the Saturday event and want to provide a gift for the children at the Open Door Mission, please feel free to bring it to the Ozone tonight and we&#8217;ll forward it on. </p>
<p>These two performances will be our last of the year so I hope to see you at least at one of them. Remember, the food is great, the music is great and you can dance your socks off.</p>
<p>Hope to see you soon &#038; happy holidays!</p>
<p>David Nabity</p>
