Third District Today November 2015 Happy Veteran’S Day Happy Thanksgiving Published by Ron Martinsen, 3D Pub 3D Third District Today November 2015 Happy Veteran’s Day Happy Thanksgiving Published by Ron Martinsen, 3D Pub. Rel. Dir. 3D SofN Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/TheThirdDistrictoftheSonsofNorway The mission of Sons of Norway is to promote and to preserve the heritage and culture of Norway, to celebrate our relationship with other Nordic countries, and to provide quality insurance and financial products to its members. Fra Presidenten, Mary B. Andersen 1 If you don’t do it, who will? It’s that time of year when we begin thinking about lodge officer positions. We get comfortable and it becomes too easy to say “they” will do it or “she always does that for us”. Many of our members have “been there, done that” a few times! If you haven’t held a lodge position, why not? Lodges don’t run on their own. Often times, it is a core group of people who year after year take care of everything. It is time to give them a break! Why should you become a lodge officer? You learn a lot about Sons of Norway when you are elected to an officer position, including: How a lodge is run Where the lodge gets it’s funds from What is involved in planning an activity How the lodge relates to the District and All the various forms (no fun, but necessary). More importantly, you learn to connect with your fellow members both within your lodge and your Zone. Yes, it does involve some work, but the rewards are many, ask a current or former officer. There is also a feeling of accomplishment for a job well done and that is priceless. There may be times when you will pull your hair out trying to find volunteers to help on a lodge event, but guess what, you always will and the event will run smoothly. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, you will be happy you did. After all, if you don’t do it, who will? Høsthilsen Mary Thank you to all our Veterans Happy Thanksgiving! Charitable Trust - Kathy Dollymore - Counselor 2 As we are heading toward the end of the year we think of the blessings we are afforded and those who may not be as fortunate. I have a short story to relate to you A man walking along the beach noticed a woman walking a ways ahead of him. He noticed her strange behavior as she walked just along the edge of the sea where the waves crashed in. The woman would walk a few steps, bend down and pick something up, and then fling it into the ocean. She would take another step, pick something else up and fling that also into the ocean. She continued at an almost manic speed. Wondering what she could be doing, he drew closer her and saw that she was picking up closed clams shells which she then threw back into the sea. He looked around and saw thousands of shells all along the shore line, and every wave brought more. He approached her and asked her, “Why are you bothering to keep throwing those clam shells back in the ocean? Can't you see there are so many? How could you ever hope to make a difference doing that?” She looked at him for a minute, then bent and picked up a shell and lobbed it overhand back into the waves. She looked back at him and said, “It made a world of difference for that one.” In this holiday season let's think about making a difference to our beneficiaries in the Charitable Trust. I could use short terms like, Every little bit helps, Do what's right, Helping others, Make a difference, Selflessness, Kindness, but I am confident that you already know what this inspiring anecdote portrays and you will do your part to make a better day for our Brothers and Sisters in the Third District. Give to the 3D Charitable Trust. To help provide modest support to District 3 members with subsistence support critical to their physical, social and psychological wellbeing is what a fraternal organization like ours is all about.

Kathy Dollymore, 1015 Edgerton Rd, Secane, Pa 19018, 610-626-2260, [email protected],, 3D Counselor State of LOV – Roy Berntsen - LOV Chair 3 The Gala Grand reopening was such a wonderful event. We had 32 guests staying for the weekend and we had 3 tables of locals for the gala who wanted to share in the excitement about having LOV open again. I sat down with them and it seemed they were just as happy as we were that the toughest part was over. We had a closed party and people dressed for the occasion. The DJ - Moises Rivera (DJ Moises) aka DJ Maze Oner – was wonderful and played to the crowd. Everyone danced and ate a delicious meal of pork roast with all the trimmings. There was a wonderful Gala cake, plus Helen Timoney made riskrem for us to enjoy and David B. carved roses in a watermelon and it looked beautiful as the centerpiece for the fresh fruit platter. We even found out the fire alarm works, as the DJ set off a smoke machine for atmosphere and it set off the alarm. They called and Rick told them we were celebrating so they put our alarm on hold until he called at the end of the evening to reset it. We received a congratulations note from the International President Jon Tehven, “Please greet them and congratulate them for their successful effort to reopen LOV” and a congratulations from Jimmy Hein from Nor-Bu Lodge. Barbara and Bob Bensen from Noreg Lodge wrote: “WOW! It has been a long time. Thank you Roy and everyone who has helped make it possible.” We had 13 lodges visit – Bernt Balchen, Bondelandet, Fredriksten, Garborg, Henrik Ibsen, , Hudson Valley, Nor-Bu, Norden, Norsemen, Norumbega, Restauration, Skaugum, and Troll. We had many District Officers join us for the weekend: President Mary Andersen, Secretary Doris Beck, Treasurer Helen Timoney, Counselor Kathy Dollymore, Zone 1 Director Karen Olsen Helmold, and Zone 4 Director Kari Williams. Plus the complete LOV Board was there to celebrate. There was a raffle, of course, to help raise money for the heating system. The donations from the pictures brought in $206 and the raffle brought in $287. There were 3 top shelf bottles of alcohol donated by Ken Olson, Ken Johnson and Steve Helmold (who won the basket at the auction) and the Bensen’s donated Kongetinn Royal Pewter: 1 beautiful large spoon and a set of napkins. Thank you all. During the weekend, people went for walks to the waterfall, played horseshoes and shuffle board. We had brain teaser games all throughout the day and in the evenings you could see card games and left-right-center games throughout the dining room. Some even concentrated to get a 1000 piece puzzle completed. What a task with all the other events going on. Steve Helmold took pictures of everyone at the gala event and for a donation for the heating system; you could take home a framed picture. Laila brought flag pins from the former Valhalla Lodge. So we all went home with a wonderful souvenir to wear. Everyone who played a brain game or won a game was given a lottery ticket. Good luck to all the winners. The LOV Board had a resignation: Nancy Thorsen sent her resignation due to family obligations. Barbara is sitting in as the temp LOV Secretary. I sent a notice to the LOV Board and all were in favor of her as temp Secretary. Besides being the typist when I talk, she is keeping me on my toes, that’s for sure. The end of October (writing this on Oct. 12) will hold the district board meeting. We are having another LOV Board meeting. We had a short meeting at the gala, just to keep on track. A Halloween party is being planned, and we hope to hold a New Year’s Eve party too. The days are getting shorter and the cold is going to be set in soon. We are preparing for the winter and will need to make a decision really soon. Should we close for the winter, keep it semi-open for the snowmobilers and hunters, or open the lodge for the winter season? The farmer’s almanac stated it will be another brutal winter and I sure hope that means a lot of snow for the snowmobilers. Even if we open the bar and kitchen area for them, they do enjoy stopping to warm up and get a drink or a large warm lunch. That is their common question “can they stop at the end of the trail.” We are in the “making the decision stage” and will let you know the final decision in the next report. We have most of the summer booked for 2016. And hope to have every weekend booked. It will help so we can get the place open for good. Let us all work together to keep it going. “We need to use it or loose it!” Roy LOV Marketing – William Taylor Greetings and Salutations You are invited to the Land of the Vikings Halloween Celebration Weekend of October 30 through November 1st for all 3rd District Members and Guests Bring your best Viking and Troll costume to see if you can win the best costume contest prize of $25.
