Guests are always welcome at any Lodge meeting. Learn of our mission, enjoy the fellowship, hear a historical story about our Scandinavian ancestors. Everyone is encouraged to visit the Sons of Norway website (https://www.sofn.com/foundation/scholarships) where descriptions of all scholarships offered and applications may be found. The mission of the Sons of Norway is to promote, preserve and cherish a lasting appreciation for the heritage and culture of Norway and other Nordic cultures while growing soundly as a fraternal benefit society and offering maximum benefits to its members.

For more information about Sons of Norway or the July meeting, please contact co-president Harvey Pedersen, at (507) 445-3188 or co-president Bonnie Frederickson, at (507) 370-2850.
