January 2009 Newsletter

Velkommen!

Ord Fra Presidenten

Godt Nytaar og God Jul. Since we did not have a December bulletin, we wish you all the best 2009 and assume everyone had a super Christmas. We had a very successful Julebord, our Unge Venner participated in the annual Santa Lucia procession, guided as usual by Youth Director Judith Gabriel Vinje. We sang around the Christmas tree (supplied by Cara Clove and Ken Putnam) with our Musician, Shelley Baum. Our famous secret Santa Claus attended with gifts for the kiddies. Great fun and fellowship. Lots of great food as usual. Center pieces were supplied by Connie and Kristen Guritz who always do a really fine job. They make the tables so colorful and fun. The lefse sale was extremely successful. After serving and selling we had just a few packages left. Thanks to you all.

We had a cookie making session and our usual lefse party in November. Both were super successful. Next time come join us to learn or help out in making lefse and cookies.

Our 2009 calendar is complete in draft form. Even now we have changes that will be announced. For now we will publish the first few months, but as soon as possible the entire 2009 calendar will be published in the newsletter and on our website Edvardgrieglodge.com.

NOTE: The January 6th board meeting will be held at my home. This is a change since the member who planned to have it found out there was a conflict with the date. Our January 24th Family Night, 6:30 pm, will be potluck and games…cards, boards, etc. Lots of fun for all and a fund raiser as well. Y’all come.

The February 28th family event will be a Silent Auction with dinner and fun. Please save your good, clean, unused or nearly unused articles for our always successful fund raiser. More info in next bulletin.

Thanks for your support and attendance at our 2008 meetings and events. Please continue your loyalty to our lodge and our heritage in 2009.

Fraternally, Jo

Gratulerer
Med Dagen
