Want to learn more about Scandinavian culture? Or perhaps meet some neighbors?
The mission of the Sons of Norway is to promote and teach about Norwegian culture; to provide a comfortable place for its members to socialize; and to provide investment and insurance information. But you don’t have to be Norwegian to join: membership is open to all.
A good way to get to know the lodge — and boost your knowledge of Scandinavian culture — is to participate in activities offered by the lodge.
The lodge activities marked with an asterisk are open to the public; other activities are open to members and guests. Call 360-779-5209.
