  • 2011 Annual Report
    NORWEGIAN AMERICAN GENEALOGICAL CENTER & N AESETH LIBRARY Annual Report 2011 Norwegian American Genealogical Center, Inc. 2011 Annual Report GREETING FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS As we celebrate our fifth year of independent status, my board colleagues join me in thanking all our loyal members, vol - unteers, and patrons. You have helped make this worthy organization a vital place, and the leading resource of its kind. With your generosity, 2011 was a year of great progress, resulting from your important support for our operating budget, your gifts for special projects, and your assistance in building our Naeseth Chair Endowment. Late in 2011, Dan Huebner announced his retirement as board chairman, and I stepped into that role. Dan’s are large shoes to fill; his generous, thoughtful, and dedicated leadership is the guiding force behind the Center’s future. In recog - nition of his many contributions, we unanimously designated Dan as our chairman emeritus, and we are grateful for his continuing board service. At the same time, Dan demonstrated his enduring interest, this time by creating the Huebner Quasi-Endowment for operating reserves, as well as supporting all the expense for the acquisition, installation, and soft - ware for five new computer stations in the Naeseth Library. These new computing tools and the Huebner Quasi-En - dowment help guarantee a bright future for NAGC & NL. We all salute Dan with heartfelt thanks. 2011 produced several other special donations, including a major gift for operations from an anonymous foundation, through the recommendation of one of our board members. We also received, and invested, a bequest from the late LaMirth Geving Peterson.

    CulturalCultural NewsNews March 2020 Sons of Norway District Six Edition #007 Hilsen fra kulturdirektøren Greetings from Judy Immel, your Cultural Director; Spring appears to have arrived in Southern California; trees are blossoming, spring flowers are blooming and the sun is shining. The winter heavy rains have stopped but we still have occasional spring showers. The summer fruit trees are beginning to leaf out. Our temperatures are beginning to climb. Hope you are starting to experience some of the spring phenomenon in your part of District Six. The 2020 District Six convention will be here soon. Hope you are finishing your projects for the Folk Art Exhibit and Competition. Remember to label your projects with the proper style of art and your personal information so nothing gets lost. I am looking forward to all of the beautiful entries. We will also have a Bunad Parade. So get those Bunads ready. It is acceptable to wear an authentic Viking Costume. We will need to have your Bunads identified so the commentator can properly identify you and your Bunad, including the region it’s from. The Vikings had a big influence on the country of Ireland. Many place names, street names and harbors bear names that are both Celt and Norwegian. Check out the book review “Vikings in Ireland” by Morgan Llywelyn in this newsletter. Hope to see many of you at District Six Convention. Scandinavian Festivals 2020 Summer is the season for festivals, be they music, film or cultural. If you will be in Norway for the Sons of Norway's 2020 International Convention and are making it a vacation consider going to a Norwegian Festival.

    U.S. Fraternal Benefit Societies Have Come A Long Way: 2019 Update Financial Institutions: Insurance Research raternal benefit societies (fraternals) came about in the late 1800s to assist the large number of immigrants coming to America. One of their more significant needs was to provide for families’ financial well-being in F the event of untimely death of the breadwinner. Although a conventional life insurer could also provide these services, fraternals were unique in that they united people through a common bond such as religion, ethnicity, or occupation. Moreover, the mission of these organizations has been to support their communities. Fraternals provide fertile ground for relevant, important, and meaningful community service activities that make a difference in the lives of individuals and enhance their quality of life.1 These not-for-profit, policyholder-owned companies are comparable to mutual life insurers in certain respects, in particular their focus on selling permanent life insurance through captive agents and conservatively managed long- term operations. Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) views participating life insurance as the industry’s most creditworthy product. Additionally, the mutual and fraternal business models are based heavily on relationships. However, the fraternal bonds are stronger as the connections with agents and regulators—albeit meaningful—take a backseat to relationships with members, lodge leaders, and other community service organizations. Fraternals’ dedication to helping others sets them apart from commercial insurers, demonstrating their value to society and validating the wisdom of the federal tax exemption.2 Membership in a fraternal involves more than just purchasing a life insurance policy or annuity.

  • Dynamic 2 Volume 27 Sons of Norway District 2 Spring 2019
    Dynamic 2 Volume 27 Sons of Norway District 2 Spring 2019 President’s Message - Jerry Erickson By the time you read this Spring of 2019 Dynamic 2 we will be well into a busy season of District and Lodge events. We have completed all our Zone Seminars with the exception of Zone 5 which will take place in October. We held our District 2 Board meeting on March 30th hosted by Bothell Lodge. Much was accomplished and I can tell you that our District Officers are doing a wonderful job in making sure that our District is functioning very well. Let me back up a little to fill in the gap between our Fall 2018 Dynamic 2 and the present. I attended the District Presidents Advisory Council meeting at the Home Office in Minneapolis. It’s always a pleasure to go “home”. I grew up in the suburb of Richfield and I have family, my daughter Lori and her husband Charlie, many cousins and friends who I see too infrequently these days. We had the opportunity to have sessions with all the key staff and learn more in depth how things function at the Home Office. I had been there many times over the years, but this was the first time to get a thorough overview of what goes on there. It was great to spend time with the other District Presidents and find out what activities and events other Districts are doing. I’m looking forward to our meeting the first week of May back in Minneapolis. I want to congratulate our twenty-one Lodges who met and exceeded the 2018 Recruitment Goal set by the Home Office.
