SUMMARY:Walden Pond Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a walk around Walden Pond where Henry David Thoreau got his inspiration to write his book simply titled “Walden”.  This easy walk will take us past the location of his cabin where he endeavored to live the simple life.  The trail around the pond is basically flat and well cared for.  It will be a great way to spend an afternoon with friends and family. \nNote;  Due to Covid 19 restrictions this scheduled walk can change on short notice.  Please check this site regularly for any updates to the status of this event.

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.

SUMMARY:May Cultural Meeting - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, our May Cultural Meeting has been cancelled due to the Covid19 issues.  We will attempt to schedule Wendy for a future meeting. \nOur May cultural meeting will feature author Wendy Swallow.  She has written a book titled “Searching for Nora; After the Doll’s House.” \nHer new novel\, Searching for Nora: After the Doll’s House\, follows Nora as she struggles to make a life for herself in Kristiania (now Oslo) and then escapes Norway in disguise\, a passenger on an emigrant ship and soon a reluctant settler in the harsh Minnesota prairie. \nSearching for Nora tells a tale that is both intimate and sweeping.  Nora’s narrative\, written as a memoir\, spreads over four decades and is woven together with the story of a second character\, Solvi Lange\, a young university student in Norway in 1918.  Solvi seeks to unravel the mysteries of her grandfather’s hidden shame and the fate of a long-vanished Norwegian feminist. \nFor more information click here
