If you think you’ll be able to come\, please \nlet Luana know (vicepresident@norumbegasofn.org) by Friday\, April 19th\, so she can make sure there will be enough tables and chairs (and cake) to accommodate everyone. And if you would like to contribute something to the dessert table\, we won’t say no.

SUMMARY:17th of May Family Picnic
DESCRIPTION:May is not really that far off and we all look forward to the annual 17th of May family picnic\, which will be on Saturday\, May 18th. It’s a big event and draws not only lodge members but lots of other families from the Norwegian community in Boston.  There is a short parade\, open faced sandwiches\, hot dogs\, and field games for the children. \nMembers: In order for it to be a success\, we need volunteers. There are lots of things to volunteer to do and most of the jobs are not that demanding. A sign-up sheet will be available at both the April and May cultural meetings. It feels good to contribute to the success of such a popular event so make sure you sign up as soon as possible to snag the best job. \nFore event flyer click  here

SUMMARY:January Cultural Meeting
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: Please notice the day and time change for January through March Cultural Meetings.  We switch to Sunday afternoons\, at 3:00\, for these three months to allow for daytime driving. \nOur January meeting is a chance for you to come and support our newly elected officers as they get formally installed into their positions.  Supporting your lodge leadership may seem mundane but it is actually very important to show our support for them.  We also get to learn what the responsibilities for each position are.  Without our leaders working together there would be no lodge meetings to enjoy. \nSOUP ANYONE?\n\nPlease come to our January Cultural meeting where we will not only be installing our officers for the coming year\, but we will enjoy your favorite soups.  If you have a favorite soup recipe\, please let us potentially make it our favorite as well by sampling it.  We would like to have many of you bring a batch of your soup to the meeting to share with everyone.  We will then take a poll of the favorite one among the entries and perhaps the winner will receive a prize and will have your recipe published in the February Tidende.  After the sampling and voting is done we can enjoy a Sunday afternoon dinner consisting of the rest of the soups and some bread.  Join in the fun but remember\, our next three months of meetings will be held on Sunday afternoons beginning at 3:00 pm.
