Your participation is always welcomed and required to make this Bismarck convention one that District #4 won’t soon forget. Calls will be made to remind those who expressed interest. We will meet for one hour and then schedule the next meetings as needed each month. If you haven’t expressed interest as yet, give me a call and I’ll add you to the list. Jerry Sverdrup Nyheter From the President The drought is taking its toll on the enjoyment of my summer so far. The blessed rains that came the week of June 12 th were a welcome respite, but as true North Dakotans, we anxiously await more. The bounty of our lands may be banked until another year without these continued precious rains. Our prosperity depends so much on our short growing season and those precious few inches of rain each season. If you are like me, we begin each summer with a host of weekend commitments and plans for the family and friends that often include travel and projects that we put off until summer. Often our summer plans are a few moments to take a breather from the commitments we accept with offices in our churches, groups and volunteer organizations, but we must remember that those responsibilities go on; whether on a daily or weekly basis and we cannot neglect them or they suffer. Keep Sons of Norway on your mind this summer, think about who you would like to share it with and pass those names onto the office for an invitation to a fall membership dinner. It’s a topic that can come up in polite conversation at any time! Think about your family who might benefit from financial planning or a neighbor who might enjoy our monthly cultural socials. All are welcome to come and see and experience what our lodge has to offer. Hadde bra og takk for meg - Jerry Saude P.S. And remember Vern Monger and I have still-frozen lutefisk for sale too. Deliveries are available. Son of Norway Park Sign Dedication Plans Unfortunately the new sign was not up in time for the June 23 rd picnic plans and the weather really wasn’t conducive to a comfortable evening at the park. The sign dedication will be announced at a later date and we may announce a noon Brown Bag seminar for the official dedication. Check your emails and the website for the new date and time.

A lifetime in a day
The week started out like any other Monday. Then the call came. A client/friend had died. It was two calls that morning. Two men in different states that were unrelated, with their own family and stories had passed over the weekend. The only thing they had in common was they were members of Sons of Norway and had life insurance. That is why I got the calls. When I attend a funeral or memorial service my mind takes me to my relationship with that person and their family. I never would have known these two men if it weren’t for Sons of Norway. I am grateful our paths crossed. I have a sense of thankfulness that because of our previous relationship, their families will have one less thing to worry about while they mourn the loss of their loved ones. Others work with grieving families, pastors, morticians, doctors to name a few. It isn’t easy. I am appreciative that my work begins as a discussion on helping a family in the future and knowing that in the end that person has given a little piece of mind to their loved ones. Rest in peace dear gentlemen. Sons of Norway is delivering its promise for you. Ann Krause, FIC, LUTCF Financial Benefits Counselor Sons of Norway 701-720-2755 Email: [email protected]
