Vice President's Letter April, 2010

April 2010

Springtime---the time when most Zones are having their Memorial Service-----Have you gone to one? If not, you are missing one of the nicest ceremonies Sons of Norway offers. It is a time when members can reflect on the memory of departed brothers or sisters whom we have lost in the past year. Being surrounded by others who have known our friend or loved one helps ease the loss. Family members who are invited to share in this experience are always appreciative and moved by the lovely service.

Each zone celebrates in its own unique manner — tolling of bells, candle extinguished, flowers placed in the memory of each member, beautiful psalms sung in both English and Norwegian, by an individual or a choir, speakers eulogize those we have lost.

This is the core of Sons of Norway — fraternalism — offered to our members at a time of need or loss.  Please consider going to your Zone Memorial Service.  You will not regret it and feel proud to be part of this celebration remembering those who were part of our order.

Remember:  2 A’s  -  Ask & Advertise  -  to get a member.

                   2 M’s  - Mentor and Mingle  -  to keep a member.

Alt for denne gangen,

Gail
