SUMMARY:October Cultural Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Fridtjof Nansen is considered the godfather of all modern polar explorers. In 1888 (at age 26)\, he became the first person to successfully cross Greenland from coast to coast.  At age 31 he organized and led a second expedition to the North Pole; although he and his crew ultimately did not reach the Pole\, they came closer than anyone had come before\, beating the previous record  by 150 miles. Timothy Boyce will describe who Nansen was\, how and why he organized his polar explorations\, focusing on the incredible challenges his voyages faced\, and his indomitable will to overcome all obstacles.  This lecture will also touch upon Nansen’s post-explorer career as statesman and humanitarian. \nThis meeting will also be in-person as well as on Zoom so watch for the link on the lodge website homepage

SUMMARY:February Cultural Meeting

Let’s show our love\, fraternalism\, creativity\, and\ngenerosity at the February cultural meeting on Sunday\, February 6th\, by having a fund-raiser to benefit the\nSons of Norway Foundation\, which provides much needed help to members nationwide in times of disaster.\nSince we still have to be flexible because of the ongoing pandemic\, we’ve planned an event which can be\ndone in person\, via Zoom\, or as a hybrid event.  \nLet’s create themed baskets to be auctioned off at the February meeting. Love to bake? Make a basket with cooking\nitems or baked goods. Love the movies? Make a movie night basket. Love to celebrate? Make a wine and cheese basket.\nLove to read? Make a book lover’s basket. Love to garden? Make a basket with seed packets and gardening tools. How\nabout a game night basket\, a Lego basket\, a graphic novel basket\, or a Valentine’s Day hearts and flowers and chocolate\nbasket? This is an opportunity to have some fun\, admire one another’s creativity\, and demonstrate our generosity by\nhelping fellow Sons of Norway members in need. If our meeting is in person\, bring your baskets to the Nordic Hall\nto be auctioned off. If our meeting is by Zoom or is hybrid\, prepare to show us your basket from the comfort of your\nown home. We’ll arrange a time and place for people to meet to claim their baskets. Hint: you are allowed to put\ntogether more than one basket\, and you are not only allowed\, but encouraged\, to bid on more than one basket!  \nProtocol for entering the building: You must show proof of vaccination before entering the Nordic Hall. Masks must\nbe worn. If you are not vaccinated and want to attend the meeting virtually\, send an e-mail to Peter Vatne at\npresident@norumbegasofn.org so he can send you the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:May Cultural Meeting - Zoom
DESCRIPTION:The January 2021 edition of Viking featured member David Ellingson’s kayak adventures through the fjords of Norway. The self-described “water spirit” tackled epic mileage while receiving help from “fjord angels\,” communing with the spirits of his ancestors\, and learning some life lessons along the way. \nIn Ellingson’s video Coming Home\, he recalls times on his family’s Iowa farmstead\, highlighting his increasingly daring paddle trips. Eventually he considered his great-grandparents’ courageous emigration and decided he had to take his own leap of faith and experience the Old Country—by kayak. Follow Ellingson and his fellow paddlers\, nicknamed the Spirit of Norway\, as they recount the highs and lows of their time on the Nærøyfjord\, Sognefjord and Hardangerfjord. \nJoin us to watch this interesting 25 minute video of Ellington’s adventure.  A zoom link will be provided on our Lodge website 30 minutes prior to the meeting  Just go to www.norumbegasofn.org and a pop-up message will appear on the home page shortly after logging in.
