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.

SUMMARY:Juletrefest (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Norumbega’s annual juletrefest will be celebrated on Friday\, December 4th\, on Zoom.  Some things will be different; some things will be the same. We will sing our traditional songs\, even if we can’t join hands and go around the tree. We can still join our voices and share the holiday spirit. In between the songs\, we’d like you to share the things that make Christmas special to you: special traditions\, favorite cookies\, favorite ornaments on the tree\, special dessert\, memorable moments in your family\, etc. \nLuana has gotten word from the “julenissen’s” communications director that we’re on his calendar this year as well\, so we won’t have to miss out on that. The gift exchange will be different so you will need to check the December Tidende for details about how it will work. \nThe recipient of the travelling almond will be revealed! \nSee you all on December 4th!

SUMMARY:September Cultural Meeting
DESCRIPTION:We are now living through a difficult time in that we can not meet physically together due to the Corona virus restrictions.  However\, modern technology does allow us to meet virtually with video meeting software.  While this changes our preferred way of getting together it provides opportunities to associate with each other. \nThe traditional welcome back dinner for our September meeting can not be done this year unfortunately.  However\, we will hold a virtual Zoom meeting for all who want to attend.  The time will be rolled back to 7:30 pm and you will get login information via email as we get closer to the date.  Since this year marks the 50th anniversary of our lodge we will hope that members will share what the lodge has meant to them over the years.  This could include reminiscing about special events that were especially memorable from years past or stories about members who are not with us anymore.  Whatever you wish to share is going to be welcomed during the online meeting.  For those without computers\, a call-in number will be provided so that you can participate. \nNOTE: This particular meeting is being held on a Saturday evening.

SUMMARY:Fair Kick-Off Meeting
DESCRIPTION:For Table Chairpeople and interested Members of the Lodge. \nAs you may know schools are struggling with how much they can open up in the Fall given Covid 19.  This means that we do not know if we will be able to rent space this year from Acton-Boxboro.  We have been told that we should know by the end of July.  Therefore our Fair Kick-off meeting takes on additional decision making as we may have to plan alternative actions. \nIf you would like to join this meeting via Zoom please email Zoom@norumbegason.org and let me know.

SUMMARY:June Virtual Cultural Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Since we may not be able to gather in large groups by the date of our June cultural meeting\, we decided at the May Board meeting to try for a Zoom get together.  So prepare to join our virtual meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Friday\, June 5th\, so we can touch base\, share our quarantine experiences (and quarantine hairdos)\, find out about lodge scholarship awards\, have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine (since no one is driving)\, and hear about plans for the summer and fall.  Wear your best Norwegian tee-shirt\, cap\, or face mask!  Be creative. \nIf you would like to join us you must send an email with your desired email address to Zoom@Norumbegasofn.org and we will send you the Zoom link prior to the event.  Be sure to indicate that you are signing up for the June Virtual Cultural Meeting. \nLet’s give this a try!

SUMMARY:17.mai Van to Brooklyn CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, the Brooklyn Parade has been cancelled due to the Covid19 virus issues. \nThe 17.mai parade in Brooklyn NY is one of the largest celebration parades outside of Oslo.  Norumbega Lodge has represented itself there for a number of years and the memories persist with those who have joined in.  To get there we rent a 15 passenger van that is very comfortable for the ride to Brooklyn.  We leave around 7:30 am and pick up folks along the route to Brooklyn.  On the return trip we stop to have dinner together in Connecticut and arrive at our pickup spots at around 9:00 pm.
