For over two decades, the Friends of Lied organization has helped support and promote the Lied Center as Nebraskas premier performing arts venue. Friends of Lied members across the state help bring world-class performances to all Nebraskans through projects and events that combine fundraising, education, social events and service. A highlight of the current season is Table Inspirations, an event held every 2 years that celebrates the table designs of Nebraskas best interior designers. One of southeast Nebraskas most popular events, Table Inspirations is scheduled for April 16, 2013 (See page 52 for more details). Friends of Lied membership information is available at the Lied Center ticket office, online at liedcenter.org, or see page 5051 of this book.
