Spring- where are you? I tried to get my potatoes planted yesterday, as Good Friday is a gardens goal. But my snow blower would not start and I didn’t put the tire chains on it either. So alas, I must wait a little longer. Sons of Norway International President, Jon Tehven (another North Dakota product) reminded us in his article this month, that April is also National Volunteer Month. Over the years our lodge has been involved in many community events and volunteerism is one aspect of membership promotion. President Tehven said “Opportunities such as these not only strengthen our communities but also help our members bond with one another and increase our visibility. Prospective members see our enthusiasm and commitment in action.” With that I want to especially thank Julie Roe, Claudia Berg, Mike Nickel, Joyce Harden, Stephanie & Steve Olson, Margaret & Dave Phillips for serving the banquet on Saturday March 10 th and Duane Svanes and the members who are now signing up to deliver “Meals on Wheels” for the entire month of May. Earlier in the year, Alice Falkenstein again filled the volunteer spots for the Salvation Army Red Kettle campaign. These efforts and the other kind things you all do, throughout the year in our community, speak so highly of your commitment to make our community a blessed place to live and work.

by Kathy Robinson.
Each book has a card in a pocket in the
cover. To check them out simply write
your name and date on the card and
put it in the box. Enjoy the read and
don’t forget to return the books so
others may have an opportunity to
read them as well. The books are about
Norwegian subjects and written in
English.
The lodge has a line item for purchasing new books, and lodge
members have been generous in donating books from their
personal libraries as well.
