We welcomed John Bakke as a new member of our lodge. It turns out he is from northwestern Minnesota where my grandparents and many Norwegian-Americans are from.

Upcoming events include the 17th of May Parade, which will be held in Park Ridge again this year, and the more participants the better for all. The District 5 Convention will be held in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, on June 7th to 10th. We will elect delegates at our February meeting. And the International Convention is scheduled for August. We have a lot going on in the next few months.

Don't forget about the various Sons of Norway scholarships. Most of them have an application deadline of March 15th. See the January-February issue of Skjold News or call 1-800-945-8851 for details. Skjold Lodge also offers the Barney Ja

cobson Memorial Scholarship of $350, and the application deadline is May 1st. In addition to scholarships, District 5 also has matching funds available for Heritage Camp.

We are in the process of creating our schedule of what we will do at each lodge meeting this year. We want every event to have a Norwegian theme and to be as hands-on as possible, so everyone at the meetings is an active participant. Some ideas include cooking, rosemaling, wood carving, dancing, singing, basic Norwegian lessons, Norwegian bingo, and bring-a-ting. Please call me with any ideas you have. My number is 1-847-835-0709.


To avoid conflicts with Memorial Day and Thanksgiving; and having the board meeting and lodge meeting occurring the same week we have adjusted our 2006 schedule.  See page 8 for details.

Hilsen

Gregg LeDuc, President
