Sarah: I believe Roger Reyda still runs the Lincoln Inventors Assn. I probably have that phone number. If that’s too far from Omaha to drive, and if you’re interested I’ll be happy to help you start a group of your own. Alternatively, you can become a long distance member of inventor groups in other states; they’re glad to have you..and you will benefit from the newsletters. Finally, you can become an individual member of the United Inventors Assn. Contact me if you need more info. don k

Thanks for the feedback! Lincoln probably is too far to drive, but I might be interested in starting a group here. I am a stay-at-home mom though (two kids two and under!), so am not sure I would have the time. Are you here in Omaha?

My husband also has made a connection with a local lawyer named Dave Milligan—I understand his firm offers a “fixed price” patent service. I’m meeting with him on Wednesday.
