Are you interested in Norwegian Literature, History, Folklore, Genealogy, Food, or Language? Do you want to connect to your roots, study the Viking age or the Norwegian Resistance in WWII, or discuss the latest in Norwegian culture? The Sons of Norway members in the nation's capital represent a diversity of backgrounds and nationalities with a shared interest in Norwegian and Scandinavian Culture. We trust that all ages will find something of interest with us! Most of our members are from the local area of DC, Maryland, and Virginia, but we also have members from another 16 states as well as Norway, Canada, and Great Britain.
The Washington Lodge is a part of the 3d District of Sons of Norway. To join us, click the "Join Our Lodge" button at the bottom of this page.
On membership information, please contact Vice President Keith Aleckson at VP@NorwayDC.org.
For all other questions or concerns, please contact President Linda Hestvik at President@NorwayDC.org.
Mark your calendars for our next lodge meeting!
Saturday, 17 October, at 5 P.M.
The doors will open at 5 PM and we’ll eat around 5:30 PM, with the meeting to follow at 6 PM. After that, we will hear a presentation from our October speaker at 7 PM.
Our guest speaker this month is Dr. Rick Davis, the Dean of College of Visual and Performing Arts (CPVA) at George Mason University. He will present on Ibsen and the Birth of Modern Drama.
Please bring a side dish or dessert to share.
Cultural Skills Announcement
This fall the lodge is running a Cooking Pin Challenge! Please, feel free to participate: simply photograph the Norwegian treats and main dishes you cook this fall, and let’s see how many lodge members can earn a first, second, or third cultural skills pin before the end of the year!
Email culturalskills@norwaydc.org to find out more about the Cultural Skills program.
TO NOTE: In the past, we have had the following activities: cooking, baking, music appreciation. We would like to have them again in the future. Are you interested? Contact President Linda Hestvik at President@NorwayDC.org.
