Dan Eilers
I am sorry to have to report to you the death of another member of our gaming community. Dan Eilers passed away on Sunday, March 28, after a short hospital stay.
Our community is like a big family. We get together periodically to get re-acquainted and enjoy each other’s company. These are people that we may only see once a year, but for that one occasion we’re very glad to see them. It has been more than a year since the last such gathering, and while Dan had a lot of friends in our community, he slipped away so unexpectedly that we didn’t have the chance to exchange hugs or even handshakes. We feel his loss.
You can watch for information about a memorial service at https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/daniel-eilers-obituary?pid=198184026.

Spin a Yarn Sabrina
Nuke-Con regrets the passing last week of Sabrina Meyer, known to many in the gaming and costuming community for her wildly creative yarn work. Sabrina was also unfailingly kind and cheerful, always interested to learn about whatever was going on around her. We will miss her.

Announcing Upcoming 2021 Events
Great news, Fellow Gamers!
After a long year of minimal contact with fun-stifling social distance, Nuke-Con is planning for two upcoming events to liven up 2021.
On March 20, Nuke-Con will host its first Aftershock of the year. This is a one-day on-line event, 10 am to 10 pm. We’ll host it on our Discord server (text, audio, and video if you need it). No charge to attend, just sign up! GMs, if you’re ready to provide a virtual escape, you can do that via our submission form. Not sure what it takes to do a virtual event? We have some starting advice here.
AND
We’re back this fall with our 31st Annual Convention! Change of location (the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs) but the familiar three days of games, prizes, and camaraderie – just what you’ve been waiting for!
Save the dates September 24, 25, and 26, 2021, and watch our website and social media for more information.
So much looking forward to seeing you all again!
