    Stamp collecting is one of the cultural skills pins that can be awarded to members for collecting postage stamps from Canada, Norway and the USA. One of the optional activities is to attend a stamp club or special interest Lodge stamp group for a year (minimum 6 times).
    We are lucky to have two members, Elaine and Sandy, who have collected stamps for many years. They are ready to help out all members interested in beginning this new world-wide hobby.
    We invite all lodge members, including our youth and heritage members, to participate in this new club.

    For those working on their Cultural Skills pins, here is an opportunity to work on the requirements for your Folkdancing pins. If you are not working on Cultural Skills pins, come out anyway and enjoy learning a few beginning Norwegian folkdances.
    We are planning to have a two-session workshop, fun but not difficult dances, a relaxed atmosphere and a good chance to get together and just have fun. And of course there will be coffee and goodies to help us keep our energy up.
    Contact Louise Johnson for further details.

Thurs June 10 Arts & Literature Club - NEW FORMAT
    7:30 pm - Contact Nordahl Flakstad for details
    Our book club has a whole new format!
An era will be chosen and various forms of art related to Norway in that era will be discussed. Topics will include music, film, artworks as well as literature.
The first era chosen is the 1940s.
    The 1940s era was selected because 2010 is the 70th anniversary of the invasion of Norway and the 65th anniversary of the end of WWII. The 1940s offer many opportunities for selecting an item (e.g., piece of music, a film, a book, an article, an item of art, etc.) that would be of interest to Club members.
    Please come out with your ideas of what you would like to choose from the 1940s era. Future meetings will be structured to allow everyone a chance to present their topic or item to the group for discussion
