ecently I had the privilege of
attending 100th anniversary
celebrations for two lodges.
The fi rst celebration was for Varden
7-019 in New Westminster, B.C. and
the second was for Færder 3-109 in
Brooklyn, N.Y. Although in different
countries and on opposite coasts, I
was quite surprised by how much they
have in common. Both lodges have
stories of good times and extreme

struggles. However, no matter how
bumpy the road, neither of these
lodges gave up. With each diffi culty
they overcame, these lodges became
stronger and more committed to their
continued existence.
When faced with challenges, members
put aside individual differences,
found creative solutions and worked
together for the common good. They
didn't hesitate to try different approaches
to make their lodges thrive. I heard
about the glue that held them together
through the years-the great fellowship,
the wonderful friendships, and the
joy of celebrating and exploring their
Norwegian heritage and culture. They
also spoke with great pride of their long
history of volunteerism and the positive
impact they have had on their communities.
This not only made their communities
better places, but also brought
them closer together as a lodge. I fi rmly
believe that their altruism has signifi -
cantly contributed to their longevity.
Please join me in congratulating
these groups and others who have
reached their centennials as Sons of
Norway lodges. This milestone is a
great accomplishment and one that
should be applauded. I know it takes
hard work and dedication, but, seeing
their success and that of other longtenured
lodges, I know that we have a
strong base for our future.
