"Our restaurants joined as members originally to complement our membership in the Nebraska Restaurant Association.  We wanted to receive the ORA discounts on many of the services our businesses were already spending money on.  However, being an active member allowed me to build relationships with many local vendors and fellow restrateurs, many of which have become good friends.   I am excited to see this organization continue to develop and expand the benefits it has to offer every year!"
