What do you mean by $5 of the ticket price goes to PROMISE 4 PAWS Senior Dog Sanctuary?
All dogs are special to Alex. In 2018 a V.I.R. Club member introduced Alex to this wonderful charity that gives a home to senior dogs that are abandoned, rescued by the Nebraska Humane Society or left alone because of a death of their owner. The charity is run through just donations and volunteers who donate their time to love and nurture the end days of senior dogs. Learn more about them here: P4P Website
With each luncheon, Alex pledges to match the guest’s donation of $5 from ticket sales with an equal donation from herself. In 2019 the V.I.R. readers raised $1500; in 2024 they helped raise $2000, in 2025 they raised $2300. 10% of books & merchandise sales at the luncheon go to purchasing supplies to assist in the running of P4P’s.
I need to cancel…what do I need to do?

What is included in the meal?
Currently the menu is being decided upon but does include a salad, entree, beverages and dessert. (Chicken or Vegetarian)
When can I talk to Alex?
Don’t be shy! If you have a moment to chat with Alex one-on-one, please do it. She’s honored you’ve come and wants to get to know you!
What should I wear?
Attire for the luncheon is casual and comfortable. Omaha in mid-October can be delightful with comfortable temperatures of highs in the low to mid 60’s. You’ll want to bring a jacket as one thing about the Nebraska weather you can count on is that it can change at a moment’s notice. Walking shoes are encouraged for exploring Omaha’s Old Market area.
How do I get to the hotel from the airport?
You will have to take a taxi, uber or transportation of your choice as the HILTON does not have an airport van. The AKSARBEN area is contained and all restaurants, shopping, etc. are within a nice walking area.
I have a food allergy. Who should I contact?
Please email Deb to discuss your food allergies.
I have mobility concerns and/or health restrictions. Who should I contact?
Please email Deb to discuss your mobility concerns or health restrictions.
Can I bring friends or my husband even though they aren’t members of the VIR Club?
Absolutely! Alex enjoys meeting new readers.
