Velkommen
Full fart fremover: En
sommer med feiring
Full Speed Ahead: A Summer of Celebration
s many of you are aware, 2020 is a milestone year for Sons of Norway:
On January 16, we marked the 125th anniversary of the fi rst offi cial
meeting of our organization, which took place in Minneapolis in 1895. But
the celebration did not end with that night in January-in fact, it was just
beginning. An anniversary this big is worth celebrating all year long, and the
coming summer months are prime time for lodge festivities.
For some of us, warmer weather is already in full swing, and for others it's
barely begun to ramp up. But no matter where you are, summer is just around
the corner with its usual fl urry of activity: picnics, graduation parties, summer
camps, weddings, vacations, festivals, barbecues, parades, volunteer days
and so on. No doubt your own calendar is beginning to fi ll
up already!
With that in mind, now is the time to plan your lodge's
summer activities and community events. As you do
so, make sure you take the opportunity to highlight
our 125th anniversary. Our website has a great set of
resources compiled specifi cally to help you plan your
anniversary celebrations, which you can access at
sofn.com/125years.
A
Are you hosting a lodge picnic, Midsummer
party or Syttende Mai event? Download our
125th anniversary logo and have it printed on
a cake with matching balloons. Volunteering
with your lodge or participating in a local
parade? Show your Sons of Norway pride with
matching t-shirts from the online store. Sending
offi cial lodge correspondence? Print it on our
commemorative anniversary letterhead. All of
these resources and more are available online
through the URL above, or by clicking on " 125
Years " from our homepage. Use the suggestions
provided, or brainstorm with your fellow lodge
members and get creative!
However how you want to celebrate together
this summer, start the ball rolling now if you
haven't already. After all, anticipation is half the
fun! Working toward a common goal is a great way
to bond with other lodge members, and a wellplanned
event can do wonders for welcoming others
into the Sons of Norway community.
S
om mange av dere vet er 2020 en
milepæl for Sons of Norway. 16. januar
markerte vi 125-årsjubileet for det første
offi sielle foreningsmøtet som fant sted i
Minneapolis i 1895. Men feiringen endte
ikke den kvelden i januar-faktisk var det
bare begynnelsen. Et stort jubileum som
dette er verdt å feire hele året, og de kommende
sommermånedene er en utmerket
anledning til å arrangere festligheter i
lodgene.
Noen av oss har allerede fått varmt vær,
men for andre har det såvidt begynt å bli
varmere. Men uansett hvor du befi nner deg
er sommeren rett rundt hjørnet med en
rekke aktiviteter: pikniker, konfi rmasjonsfeiringer,
sommerleirer, bryllup, ferier, festivaler,
grilling, folketog, dugnadsdager, osv. Det er
vel ingen tvil om at kalenderen din begynner
å fylle seg opp allerede!

alt er forventningen halvparten av moroa!
Å jobbe mot et felles mål er en fi n måte å
knytte bånd til andre logemedlemmer på,
og et godt planlagt arrangement kan gjøre
underverk for å ønske andre velkommen til
Sons of Norway-samfunnet.
