Meetings & Events

Lodge meetings are usually on the 3rd Friday or Saturday of the month from September through June, with picnics in July and August. Meetings are open to all with an interest in Norway. 

Each meeting features a cultural/educational program, often with a guest speaker. Most meetings have a potluck dinner, or a lighter "finger foods" or dessert-only potluck.

Lodge meetings and events listed below are held at Norway House unless otherwise specified. Directions to Norway House

Syttende Mai Family Picnic
Friday, May 17, 5 PM, Carderock Park in Maryland. Unfortunately, a Saturday or Sunday time slot was not available at our usual location (Carderock Park). The planning group, made up of the Norwegian Embassy, SON, and other organizations, decided to hold the picnic on Constitution Day this year so we could still use Carderock Park. The picnic area is reserved for the whole day, so arrive early to avoid traffic. Detailswill be in the next newsletter. Tickets are not required but will help in estimating a headcount.
