  • September 2017
    September 2017 NEWSLETTER Welcome Back to all our members, both old and new. I hope you have had an enjoyable summer. Our mid-September event will be the Crayfish Dinner which harks back to the much-celebrated end of the crayfish season in Sweden. While crayfish are well known in Louisiana, they are relatively unfamiliar in the rest of America. Although similar to shrimp they have a taste all their own. For our dinner, we use crayfish from Sweden to make it an authentic taste experience. Our mid-October meeting will be devoted to catching up on business, preparing for the Bazaar and enjoying a presentation by members Keith and Katrin Shoemaker and Larilyn André on their recent trips to Iceland which is famous for its unique Nordic landscape. The Drott Bazaar comes up shortly after, on November 4. It is Drott’s biggest event of the year and brings out the participation of nearly all our members in one way or another. The Bazaar is our only large fund-raising event which enables us to support everything else the Lodge does throughout the year. It also is a great opportunity to get to know one another and enjoy the festive atmosphere! There are opportunities for everyone. If you like to chat with people you might be a great salesman. Every section, imported gifts, imported food, baked goods, and the food line can profit by your enthusiasm. Page !1 of !8 September 2017 Each of the Bazaar sections requires prior preparation such as ordering and pricing of items for sale.

Samples of the Denmark flag designed products will be on display and visitors can pre-order their dog collars and leashes to be shipped to them. “We are very happy to once again be taking part in this Scandinavian Festival,” says PatriaPet owner and President, Jorge Gutierrez. “Norway and Sweden were both highly requested designs, ones that we added during our second year. This year, we are thrilled to be able to offer Denmark to those that requested it. People are so excited to see the Norway and Sweden flag design on our products, we are sure that our newest design for Denmark will be well-received.” The largest Nordic festival on the East coast, ScanFest is an all-day outdoor event celebrating the food, crafts, arts, traditions and current life of the Nordic countries of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden from 10 AM to 6 PM on the Sunday of Labor-Day weekend, Sunday, September 5.
