Velkommen
Feirer måneden for Foundation
Celebrating Foundation Month
O
ctober is Sons of Norway
Foundation month, which
means that it is a time to
recognize the important role our
Foundation plays in the organization
and applaud the great work it does.
In 2016 the Foundation will celebrate
50 years of making a difference in
the lives of our members, their lodges
and communities. For these reasons
it deserves our gratitude and ongoing
support.
By awarding grants that help fund
cultural programs the Foundation
provides a direct tie to Sons of
Norway's mission of promoting
and preserving the heritage and culture
of Norway. I am constantly amazed by
the sheer variety of programming that
is funded. Not only do these programs
help us appreciate, celebrate and gain
a better understanding of our heritage
and culture, they also make our
communities more vibrant.
As a former educator, I am especially
proud of what our Foundation
does for students. Funding through
Helping Hands to Children grants
offer youth educational opportunities
that provide an understanding of
Norwegian heritage and culture,
while strengthening their ties to our
organization. Also, the scholarships
awarded by the Foundation recognize
students' hard work and assist them in
achieving their educational goals.
These students could be our next
generation of leaders, so I applaud the
Foundation for making an investment
in their future.
But that's not all; I would be remiss
if I did not mention the Foundation's
support of members in times of crisis.
The Humanitarian Fund, formed in
1997 as a reaction to fl ooding of the
Red River, provides assistance to our
members during natural disasters.
The response of our Foundation after
devastating events is a great example of
fraternalism in action.
I am a strong believer in the Sons
of Norway Foundation and the work
that it does, and a proud supporter of
its efforts. I encourage you to play an
active role in growing our Foundation
for the future.
O
ktober er måneden for Sons of
Norways Foundation som betyr at
det er tiden på året når vi anerkjenner
den viktige rollen som stiftelsen spiller
i organisasjonen, og markerer alt det
gode arbeidet som den gjør. I 2016 feirer
Foundation 50 års jubileum. I denne tiden
har Foundation gjort en forskjell i livene til
våre medlemmer, lodger og lokalsamfunn.
Det er av disse grunner den fortjener vår
takknemlighet og pågående støtte.
Ved å gi tilskudd som bidrar til å
fi nansiere kulturelle programmer, er det
en direkte tilknytning mellom Foundation
og Sons of Norways misjon om å fremme
og bevare Norges arv og kultur. Jeg er like
forbløffet hvert år over mangfoldet av
programtilbud som fi nansieres. Ikke bare
hjelper den oss med å verdsette, markere
og øke forståelsen av vår arv og kultur, den
bidrar også til å gjøre samfunnet vårt mer
levende.
Som forhenværende lærer er jeg
spesielt stolt av hva Foundation gjør for
skoleelever. Gjennom tilskudd til Helping
Hands to Children får ungdommene
læremuligheter som øker forståelsen av
norsk arv og kultur, mens de samtidig
styrker tilknytningen til organisasjonen vår.
Stipendene anerkjenner i tillegg elevenes
fl ittige arbeid og hjelper dem med å nå
sine utdanningsmål. Disse studentene
kan være våre fremtidige ledere, så jeg
applauderer Foundations investerering i
fremtiden.
Jon Tehven
International President
Men det er ikke alt; jeg ville være
remiss hvis jeg ikke nevnte Foundations
støtte til medlemmer i krisetider. The
Humanitarian Fund, dannet i 1997
som en reaksjon på fl ommen i Red
River, gir støtte til medlemmer under
naturkatastrofer. Foundations respons etter
katastrofehendelser er et godt eksempel på
broderskap i aksjon.
Jeg har en sterk tro på virksomheten
til Sons of Norways Foundation, og er en
stolt tilhenger av alt arbeidet de utfører.
Jeg oppfordrer deg til å spille en aktiv rolle
med å bygge opp vår Foundation for
fremtiden.
