WHAT HAPPENS AT A MEETING?
A brief business meeting is conducted, followed by a program on a Norwegian related topic, and a social gathering with lots of good food before or after the program depending on the type of food (if we have a pot luck or smorgasbord we usually eat first). There is a raffle held during the social gathering - you never know what you might win. The meeting is usually over by 5:00 PM.

PROGRAMS AND EVENTS
Programs
We have programs at most meetings. These programs are typically related to Norway and Norwegian culture, but we may also have a program by one of our members on a particular interest they have, or trip they have taken. See our programs page to learn more about this year's activities and the types of programs we offer.
Events
Whether its marching in the Syttende Mai (Norwegian Constitution Day) parade in Park Ridge, Illinois, attending our Heritage Fest , or participating in Scandinavian Day at Vasa Park, there is some sort of activity in which you can participate almost every month. For a sampling of current planned activities (new ones are added as the year progresses) please visit our programs page.
Sports Events: You can also have fun joining us at our Annual Bowling Outing, and our Annual Golf Outing.
NORWEGIAN CULTURE
Not only do our programs focus on Norway and Norwegian culture, Sons of Norway also offers a Cultural Skills Program if you are interested in learning more about your Norwegian heritage and the culture of the Norwegian people. This program gives you a chance to focus on areas of specifically interest to you.
