Did you get your credentials in the mail yet? I haven’t seen any, but talked with a couple this weekend who said they received theirs just a few days ago. And just having the credentials in hand made them so excited that they spent the weekend “pre-shopping” at Borsheims and Nebraska Furniture Mart, picking out what all they’ll buy during the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders weekend.
How fun!
If you don’t have your credentials yet, don’t worry! Here’s the scoop from Berkshire Hathaway headquarters:
- - The 2010 Annual Reports were mailed to shareholders of record and beneficial-but-not-of-record shareholders in mid-March.
- - Included in the mailing was a Proxy Statement
- - A perforated postcard was attached to the Proxy
- - Fill out and return the postcard to order your meeting credentials
- - Shareholders are entitled to a maximum of 4 meeting credentials
- - The credentials are required for the meeting and other weekend events, as well as to receive special shareholder pricing during the discount period.
So make sure you get those postcards in! We want to see you during the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders weekend
and during the shopping period. Remember, the discount at Borsheims runs from Monday, April 25, to Saturday, May 7. The discount at Nebraska Furniture Mart runs from Tuesday, April 26, to Monday, May 2.
Happy pre-shopping!

Or at least the electronic version is ready to go! If you’re coming to this year’s Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ meeting, you’ll enjoy checking out this year’s visitor’s guide now.
Assembled by Warren Buffett’s wonderful staff at Berkshire Hathaway headquarters here in Omaha, the guide is a great overview of everything that’s going on during Berkshire Hathaway shareholders’ weekend. 
We have the download-friendly pdf right here.
In it, you will find information on hotels, restaurants and activities taking place during the shareholder weekend. The guide also contains the official schedule of events for the weekend, shuttle information and details on shareholder shopping periods.
You can see from the cover of the guide that this year’s theme is Planes, Trains and Automobiles. (Did you know there’s a theme for each year’s Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ meeting?) At Borsheims, we try to ensure our decor and memorabilia reflect the theme. The shareholder passes do, too.
We’ll be unveiling our 2011 Berkshire Hathaway memorabilia here soon, but until then, enjoy a little light reading to get you excited for your trip to Omaha!
