Mandt 5-314
Stoughton, Wis.
Large Lodge 2013
With more than
180 members on
its current roster,
Mandt has grown
substantially in the
last few years, with a
wide age range from
youth to adults, says
Lodge President and District 5 Secretary Darlene Arneson.
The lodge works hard to promote its events to all ages in
the community. They advertise with signage, email and social
media. Many new members have signed up after attending
one of the classes the lodge offers, Arneson says, such as their
adult and youth rosemaling classes.
The lodge also focuses on educating and attracting
young people in the community. Each year, the lodge hosts
a cultural event for all the third graders in the Stoughton
School District, drawing a total of nearly 300 students. Lodge
members volunteer to set up 18 stations for the children to
learn from, covering a variety of topics such as the Vikings,
genealogy and traditional foods.
" Our investment in our youth has kept them involved in
our lodge, " Arneson says, adding that among other efforts,
the lodge offers fi nancial support to the District 5 Masse
Moro Youth Heritage Camp. From this, Mandt has seen
former campers become staff, teach Norwegian classes for
the lodge, serve as offi cers and even travel to Norway for
internships or study-abroad programs.
" It was truly a team effort, " says Arneson of their 2013
International Large Lodge of the Year award. " This award
means so much because everyone had a part in achieving it,
regardless of age, years of membership or level of activity. "
Granlund 1-240
Fosston, Minn.
Small Lodge 2013
A long history of active members who celebrate the culture
and heritage of Norway and other Scandinavian countries
best describes Granlund, according to Lodge President
Wesley Roland. In fact, 2013 not only marked the lodge's win
as an International Lodge of the Year, but also the celebration
of the lodge's 90th anniversary.
" Winning this award is extremely exciting and humbling
to our small lodge, " Roland says. " We hope that this will
encourage more people to check us out. We strive to be
welcoming to any and all who would like to come and enjoy
our programs and food. "
In particular, food preparation and sharing marks both a
cultural activity and outreach effort for Granlund. The lodge,
which totals more than 50 members, invites the community
to a summer picnic every July, plus an annual torsk and
meatball supper every October. They've also hosted a
Scandinavian cooking and baking demonstration highlighting
traditional foods, such as lefse, klub, rommegrot, krumkaka
and Søt suppe. Skål!
