Velkommen
Grunnlaget for lang
levetid i lodgene
Foundation for Lodge Longevity
R
ecently, I had the privilege
of attending two centennial
anniversary celebrations:
Solglyt 4-143 in Edmonton, AB, and
Lodsen 4-13 8 in Great Falls, Mont. I
applaud these lodges and others who
have reached this significant milestone.
Continuing for 100 years takes
commitment, adaptability, determination
and willingness to compromise.
We can learn a lot from our longstanding
lodges. For instance, Solglyt
provides an extensive offering of activities
that appeal to a range of ages and
interests. With groups devoted to folk
dancing, Norwegian conversation, curling,
genealogy, and stamps and books,
there is something for everybody. Lodsen
also provides a robust programming
schedule, with a focus on cultural activities
combined with ample opportunities
for socialization. Their numerous class
offerings bring members together to
learn new skills, and their monthly dinners
provide great fellowship.
In addition to excellent programming
and fellowship, these lodges
offer their members opportunities to
give back to their communities. For
example, Lodsen members work a
Viking on a Stick booth at the state
fair and donate a portion of their
profits to local charities. Solglyt
makes quilts to provide bedding for
a local emergency youth shelter and
to auction as a fundraiser for the
shelter's operation.
No wonder Solglyt and Lodsen
have stood the test of time. Both of
these lodges offer a wealth of interesting
and engaging programming along with

community service opportunities. They
have an enthusiastic, active and positive
membership, combined with an energetic,
creative, passionate and cohesive
leadership-a winning combination.
Will your lodge celebrate its
hundredth anniversary? Lay a solid
foundation now to ensure your lodge
will reach its centennial.
N
ylig hadde jeg privilegiet av å delta
på to hundreårsmarkeringer: Solglyt
4-143 i Edmonton, Alberta og Lodsen 4-138
i Great Falls, Montana. Jeg applauderer
disse lodgene og andre som har nådd
denne betydningsfulle milepælen. Å holde
det gående i 100 år viser engasjement,
omstillingsevne, besluttsomhet og vilje til
å inngå kompromisser.
Vi kan lære mye av våre mangeårige
Marit Kristiansen
International President
lodger. For eksempel gir Solglyt et omfattende
tilbud av aktiviteter som appellerer
til ulike aldersgrupper og interesser. Med
grupper viet til folkedans, norsk samtale,
curling, slektsforskning, frimerkesamlinger
og bøker, er det noe for alle. Lodsen har
også et stort utvalg av programtilbud, med
fokus på kulturelle aktiviteter som kombineres
med gode muligheter for sosialt
samvære. De mange kurstilbudene bringer
medlemmene sammen for å lære nye
ferdigheter, og de månedlige middagene
bidrar til et flott fellesskap.
I tillegg til utmerket programutvalg og
fellesskap får medlemmene i disse lodgene
muligheten til å gi tilbake til sine lokalsamfunn.
For eksempel, medlemmene
av Lodsen arbeider i en Viking-på-pinne
messestand på state fair og donerer en del
av overskuddet til lokale veldedighetsorganisasjoner.
Solglyt lager polstrete dyner
som sengetøy og gir dem til et lokalt krisesenter
for ungdom og auksjonerer dem
bort i en innsamlingsaksjon for senteret.
Det er ikke rart at Solglyt og Lodsen har
bestått tidens test. Begge lodgene tilbyr
et vell av interessante og engasjerende
programmer og samfunnsfremmende tjenestemuligheter.
De har entusiastiske, aktive
og positive medlemmer, kombinert med en
energisk, kreativ, lidenskapelig og samhørig
ledelse-en vinnende kombinasjon.
Vil lodgen din feire sitt 100 års jubileum?
Bygg et solid fundament nå for å sikre at
lodgen din når sitt hundreårsjubileum.
