Viking Magazine - December 2014 - 4
Velkommen
Happy Holidays
T
he holiday season is upon us.
For many, this time of year
is fi lled with a whirlwind of
activities-shopping for presents,
putting up decorations, attending
parties and planning family gettogethers.
Of all the things we do
during the holidays, Gloria and I look
forward to being with our children
and grandchildren the most. We
cherish our time together; telling family
stories, sharing remembrances and
celebrating with our family's traditions.
Our Christmas gathering provides the
perfect opportunity to reinforce the
importance of heritage and the value
it brings to our lives. We believe
that understanding their roots-the
blending of heritage, culture and
traditions-gives our children
and grandchildren a strong
sense of identity, belonging
and pride.
In addition to
connecting our young
people to their heritage
during the holidays, this
season is also a perfect time
to shine a light on Sons of
Norway. Many lodges have
lutefi sk dinners or a julebord
to showcase Norwegian
foods in the time between
Thanksgiving and New Year's.
Others have bazaars that
combine Norwegian arts and
crafts with seasonal foods.
Not only do members enjoy
these holiday festivities,
but many times these lodge
events are eagerly anticipated
and attended by
community residents.
What a wonderful
4 VIKING DECEMBER 2014 sonsofnorway.com
opportunity to demonstrate the
fellowship that we enjoy, to promote
the many benefi ts of being a Sons of
Norway member and to celebrate
our Norwegian heritage and culture.
Having Viking magazines on hand,
along with your lodge newsletter,
calendar of upcoming events and
application forms, will help pique the
interest of your guests.
From my family to yours, we wish
you a very Merry Christmas and a
wonderful New Year.
God Jul
J
ulehøytiden står for døren. For mange er
denne tiden på året fylt med en virvelvind
av aktiviteter-handling av gaver, dekorering
av julepynt, deltagelse på fester og planlegging
av familiesammenkomster. Av alt som
vi foretar oss i juletiden er det stundene
sammen med våre barn og barnebarn som
Gloria og jeg ser mest frem til. Vi setter
pris på samværet; fortelle familiehistorier,
dele minner og feire familietradisjonene
våre. Julefeiringen er en perfekt mulighet
til å styrke betydningen av kulturarven og
verdien den bringer inn i våre liv. Vi mener
at forståelsen av sine røtter-en blanding av
arv, kultur og tradisjon-gir barna og barnebarna
en sterk identitetsfølelse, tilhørighet
og stolthet.
Jon Tehven
International
President
I tillegg til å knytte de unge til sin kulturarv
under høytiden er julen også en ypperlig
mulighet til å skinne et lys på Sons of Norway.
Mange lodger utnytter lutefi skmiddager
eller julebord til å presentere norsk mat
i perioden mellom Thanksgiving og nyttår.
Andre har basarer som kombinerer norsk
kunst og håndverk med sesongens matretter.
Ikke bare koser medlemmene seg under
juletilstelningene, men lokalbefolkningen
gleder seg også ofte til å delta på disse
lodgearrangementene. Det er en utmerket
mulighet til å demonstrere fellesskapet
vårt, fremme de mange medlemsfordelene
i Sons of Norway, og feire vår norske arv
og kultur. Du kan vekke interessen til dine
gjester ved å ha Viking-magasinet tilgjengelig
sammen med nyhetsbrev fra lodgen,
aktivitetskalenderen og søknadsskjemaer.
Fra min familie til din ønsker vi dere alle
en riktig god jul og et godt nyttår.
