Sons of Norway District 2 Newsletters describe district lodge activities that involve local Lodge representatives from Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Twenty-five years-worth of Edmonds Lodge presidents...every one that our lodge has had...attended the 25th anniversary bash.....
And many charter members of Edmonds Lodge were also on hand for the gala affair.
President's message for June 2009
Next year we will be celebrating the 100 year anniversary of District 2 Sons of Norway with all of the other lodges in the district (Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska). It is suggested that each lodge celebrate in some fashion to highlight the anniversary. "Fram, forward into the future" is a popular phrase around the district Fram translated is "forward", like rett fram means "straight ahead". The attached photo of Amundsen's famous sailing vessel Fram went on explorations to the Arctic and the Antarctic and is certainly a symbol of forward thinking. Edmonds Lodge should consider some special event next year to highlight the anniversary. Christine Andersen, District 2 Historian suggested maybe our Scandinavian Festival or a pancake breakfast could feature the anniversary. We have not done a full Scandinavian Festival for several years but maybe this is a time to figure out if with a special district 100 year anniversary feature we could come up with some ideas to make it work for the community, for Sons of Norway and for our treasury. This will be on the agenda at our meeting on June 28 at the Midsommerfest at St. Edwards Park. Let's see if there are some special ways we could accent a reconstituted Scandinavian Festival or if there are other ways we could help celebrate the anniversary. Please talk it up with members and friends before the meeting on the 28th, and especially with those who do not have e-mail. Bob Stevenson
