WIN (Continued from page 1)

Experience of a lifetime for two. What's even better is that the winner and their guest will be able to select their own adventure!
Courtesy of Borton Overseas, the winner of the
Norwegian Experience membership recruitment contest will have a variety of different guided tours and cruises in Norway from which to choose! Whether they prefer a more active tour of the country, or a relaxing, pampered cruise, Sons of Norway and Borton Overseas will work with the winner to provide the ultimate experience.
No matter which kind of travel experience the winner selects, they will travel in style on a complimentary 10-day
Norwegian Experience including upgraded international air travel, deluxe accommodations, and U.S. $500 in spending money! In addition, the winner will enjoy an exclusive excursion to Hadeland Glassworks near Oslo, complete with a private guided tour to see how some of the world's finest glass and crystal are made, an opportunity to blow their own glass, a special three-course lunch, and a NOK 1,000 gift certificate to purchase a keepsake from Hadeland's glass shop, all compliments of Hadeland Glassworks.

Entering the contest is easy:

  • Recruiters must be current members of Sons of Norway to be eligible to participate and to win.
  • For each dues paying member recruited, the recruiter's name will be automatically entered into the drawing to win a Norwegian Experience.
  • Dues paying Unge Venner, or members who have lapsed more than two years and individuals who have never been members are all eligible candidates for membership and will qualify the recruiter for the contest. Heritage members, dues exempt (family) Unge Venner and members who have lapsed less than two years will not qualify for an entry.
  • There is no limit to the number of entries allowed, so tell your members that they can recruit as many new members as possible to increase their chances of winning!
  • Membership applications for the new members, with the recruiter's member number indicated, must be received at the Sons of Norway Headquarters by 12/31/07 to qualify for an entry.
We encourage members to participate for the chance to win the Norwegian Experience of a lifetime.

KOMMENTAR (Continued from page 1)

Every Skjold member must now focus on the 17th of May Parade.  This is one of the most important activities we do all year.  We need every able-bodied person out there marching with us and showing off their Norwegian pride.  This is your day, Norwegian-Americans. Please join us wearing traditional dress or anything red, white, and blue.  More details are on page 5 and updated information will be available at our web site (www.skjoldlodge.com) and at the NNL web site (www.nnleague.org/).

On Saturday March 31st Skjold Lodge officers participated in a leadership seminar given by Sheryl Hall, the District 5 Youth Director and President of Valhall Lodge in Rockford. It was a five hour event and took place at Minnekirke and was hosted by Leif Erikson Lodge.  The entire event was very well organized by Sheryl and Leif Erikson.  Sheryl handed out a 34 page brochure on the leadership and membership workshop, and we went through it thoroughly page by page.  We talked about some basic but key issues, such as the Sons of Norway Mission Statement: promote and preserve the heritage and culture of Norway and provide quality insurance and financial benefit products to our members.  We discussed every officer's job responsibilities and we talked about bringing in new members.  We had to fill out forms on what our Lodge did this past year plus write out some goals on where we want to be next year.  These are the same type of goal setting exercises that businesses do in order to stay in business and grow.  The seminar was a valuable experience, and we want to profusely thank Sheryl Hall for leading it and Leif Erikson Lodge for organizing and hosting the event.

Hilsen,

Gregg LeDuc, President
