Sand in the City 2008 – LinkedIn Omaha

Many of our blog readers are probably not aware that we have a LinkedIn customer support team in Omaha, Nebraska. You may have read an earlier post on LinkedIn privacy from April Kelly, who is the Director of the Omaha Center.

Today, I'm blogging for a cause. Corporate teams from throughout Omaha are participating in a sand sculpting competition. And the best part is that the event aims to raise awareness and funding for the programs of Nebraska Children's Home, which includes statewide adoption services and education, pregnancy services, foster care, and child care.

The 5th Annual "Sand in the City" will take place at Miller's Landing (on the Omaha Riverfront) between June 6th and 8th. This will then be followed by two days of Family Fun open to the public on June 9 (10 am to 8pm) and June 10 (11am to 5pm). The event concludes with an awards ceremony and the Sand Blast Party held on the River City Star that evening at 7pm.

Wondering what our sand sculpture's going to look like? It's called "No more monkey business, get LinkedIn". Check out pictures of our sculpture model as well as a picture of the LinkedIn Omaha team, busy at work.
