JUSTERE SEILENE VÅRE
«J
eg kan ikke endre vindretningen, men jeg kan justere seilene
mine for alltid å nå målet mitt.»
-Jimmy Dean
Vi lever i ekstremt utfordrende tider der vår evne til å tilpasse oss
er viktigere enn noensinne.
Etter hvert som tidsfristene har nærmet seg for planleggingen
av den internasjonale kongressen i 2022, har det internasjonale
styret måttet ta noen vanskelige beslutninger. På grunn av
Omicron-varianten og andre mutasjoner av COVID-19-viruset og
ulike restriksjoner, bestemte det internasjonale styret å holde den
internasjonale kongressen i 2022 virtuellt i stedet for et tradisjonelt
møte mellom delegatene og medlemmene.
Selv om vi har gledet oss til å samles igjen, hender det at man må
ta vanskelige avgjørelser for å beskytte helsen og sikkerheten til våre
medlemmer, ansatte, leverandører og lokalsamfunn. Ved hjelp av
juridisk bistand har det internasjonale styret søkt alternativer til det
tradisjonelle kongressformatet slik at vi kan opprettholde styringen
av Sons of Norway og sikre organisasjonens økonomiske levetid.
Det internasjonale styret møttes 9. februar 2022, og etter
vurdering av all relevant broderlig, finansiell og COVID-19relatert
informasjon, tok de den vanskelige beslutningen at den
internasjonale kongressen i 2022 skal holdes virtuellt for alle
delegater og medlemmer. Det betyr at valget for det internasjonale
styret fortsatt
gjennomføres virtuellt i
2022, og at distriktene
derfor bør velge sine
delegater til den
internasjonale lodgen.
Etterhvert som
årstiden skifter er det på
tide å gjøre litt dugnad
for samfunnet vårt.
Opprinnelsen til denne
spesielle typen av norsk
frivillighet dateres tilbake
til vikingtiden da alle
kom sammen for å bygge
og vedlikeholde skip i
allmennhetens interesse.
En liten feiring med forfriskninger er vanlig etterpå. I samme ånden,
tenk gjennom hvordan lodgen din kan arbeide sammen for et verdig
formål om våren. Mens du er inne på det, ta bilder for lokalavisen
og sosiale medier, og viktigst av alt, send dem til distriktets
publisitetsleder slik at det kan komme inn i Viking.
Gratulerer med dagen! Gledelig 17.mai til alle medlemmer og
venner av Sons of Norway! ▼
