Viking Magazine - August 2018 - 4

Velkommen
Velkommen to All
ooking ahead is critical for all healthy, growing organizations. With
the 2018 International Convention and Leadership Conference this
month, our focus is clearly on the future. How can we share our Nordic
heritage and culture even more? How do we engage new members to keep
our organization strong? How do we build stronger connections within
our communities with volunteerism? These are just some of the important
questions that we'll focus on during these four days
of Sailing for Growth-August 15-18.
Even if you can't attend the convention, here's
how you can make a difference: There's nothing
quite like a smile and a friendly velkommen
greeting to make others feel at home.
As Sons of Norway grows to 2020
and the 125th anniversary of our
founding, I ask you to make your
best effort to welcome friends,
family and others you meet to our
events and lodges, so that we
remain a vital organization.
If you are always listening,
like I am, you'd hear many
positive comments about Sons
of Norway from our newest
members, who say they think of us
as " ... a community of like-minded
friends! " And that what is best about
being a member is " ... new friends,
learning together about our ancestors "
and " ... learning about my heritage
and connecting with others ... " When
I read comments like these, I know our
future is bright. By working together,
we are building a welcoming, growing
community that will last far beyond
our fi rst 125 years.

Velkommen til alle
E
vnen til å se fremover er
avgjørende for alle livskraftige og
voksende organisasjoner. Den internasjonale
kongressen og lederkonferansen
som holdes denne måneden gjør det
helt klart at fremtiden står i fokus.
Hvordan kan vi dele vår nordiske arv
og kultur enda mer? Hvordan engasjerer
vi nye medlemmer for å bevare
vår livskraftige organisasjon? Hvordan
skaper vi sterkere forbindelser i våre
lokalsamfunn gjennom frivillighetsvirksomhet?
Dette er bare noen av de
viktige spørsmålene vi skal fokusere
på i løpet av disse fi re dagene som vi
kaller, 15-18 august.
Selv om du ikke kan delta på konferJon
Tehven
International President
ansen kan du likevel gjøre en forskjell
på følgende måter: Ingenting kan måle
seg mot et hyggelig smil og en vennlig
velkomsthilsen når det gjelder å få
andre til å føle seg hjemme. Etterhvert
som Sons of Norway fortsetter veksten
frem mot 2020 og 125 års jubileumet,
ber jeg deg om å gjøre ditt beste
for å ønske venner, familie og andre
velkommen til våre arrangementer og
lodgemøter slik at vi kan opprettholde
organisasjonens vitalitet.
Hvis du alltid lytter, vil du, i likhet
med meg, høre mange positive kommentarer
om Sons of Norway fra våre
nyeste medlemmer. De sier at de
tenker på oss som " et fellesskap av
likesinnede venner! " Og det beste ved å
være medlem er " nye venner, lære om
våre forfedre sammen med andre, " og
" lære om min arv og skape forbindelser
med andre. " Når jeg leser kommentarer
som disse, vet jeg at vi står overfor
en lys fremtid. Ved å jobbe sammen
skaper vi et innbydende og sterkere
fellesskap som vil vare langt utover de
første 125 årene.
