The Omaha Press Club: Nothing Quite Like It
The 50-year-old Omaha Press Club is unique in the central United States, offering its members a restaurant and meeting rooms with “The Best View in Town,” special events, an annual gridiron show, journalism education, plus fellowship and fun. Membership is open to everyone within one of four categories.
The OPC Foundation is the club’s philanthropic arm, awarding scholarships annually to college journalism and broadcast students.
The OPC restaurant offers a panoramic view of Omaha’s downtown skyline and the Missouri River Valley of Nebraska and Iowa from the 22nd floor of the First National Center in the heart of downtown.
