The Hungry Club meets the 1st Wednesday of every month over the lunch hour. We bring in local, regional and national speakers with information that is relevant to north Omaha and the entire Omaha Metro area. Being that it is an intimate environment it allows the lunch attendees to ask questions and have a good discussion with the guest speaker. The Hungry Club is moderated by Ms. Gladys Harrison.

The Hungry Club is open to the public, everyone is welcome.
