Third District Today November 2013 3D Third District Today November 2013 Happy Thanksgiving Land of the Vikings (LOV) is now on facebook 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. Third District President’s Message For Americans, this is the month all of us take time to appreciate and be thankful for all we have in our daily lives. It's hard to believe that we are the only country in the world, along with Canada, to have the tradition of Thanksgiving. The last part of that word is GIVING. The election of new officers approaches; this is a reminder that during the past few years, fraternal benefit societies have come under increased scrutiny due to their tax-exempt status. Because of this, it has become critical for societies, including Sons of Norway, to showcase the great volunteer activities that are being done by members in their communities. Therefore the implementation of a new position, Volunteer Coordinator, is to take place with officer elections for 2014. The duties of the Volunteer Coordinator would include: -Seeking out volunteer opportunities within the lodge’s community. -Developing partnerships with other lodges and community groups to create a significant impact with volunteer activities. -Organizing members' involvement in lodge sponsored community service. -Working with the lodge publicity director to publicize the lodge's community service activities. -Coordinating with the lodge vice president to utilize volunteer activities as recruitment and retention tools. -Promoting community service to lodge members, by being an advocate for lodge members volunteering. -Providing detail reporting of lodge community events for the annual reporting to the American Fraternal Alliance. Make sure that this new position is in place by the New Year. This position is vital to both the lodges as well to all Sons of Norway. Rolf and I hope you all have that special time with your friends and family to enjoy the fellowship, reflect on your blessings, and be truly THANKFUL, for all that has happened in the past year. Mange Takk - Alt for denne gangen Gail Ask & Advertise ---------- Mentor and Mingle. 1 Vice President, Mary B. Andersen, VP Voice Treat your friends like family and your family like friends - Unknown I grew up listening to that quote and many more; I wish I could remember half of these one line rules to live by. As we enter the holiday season lodge activities increase, requiring a concerted team effort; an exhibition of fraternalism at its best. Can we continue the feeling of fraternalism and camaraderie throughout the year? It can be challenging at times (said very lovingly!) Many of our lodges will be having holiday fests and bazaars which will be open to the public. Some people will have their first interaction with Sons of Norway and your lodge. I would like to share excerpts from a note received by Norsk Carolina lodge - "I enjoyed the meeting…..I felt a sense of belonging……I didn't expect the heritage connection to be so strong but it is certainly there. It was wonderful and family-like to find people I have an instant attachment with. I look forward to more meetings." Wow, what a powerful note and congratulations to Norsk Carolina for exuding the fraternal spirit that binds us all. If you attend a lodge holiday function as a member, always remember "when you are off, you are on" (I learned this little ditty preparing for a corporate event) meaning, you are a Sons of Norway member regardless of whether or not you orchestrated an event or are supporting an event by your attendance. You may encounter people like the person who went to Norsk Carolina's lodge meeting. Treat them like family. As you see your fellow lodge members sweating in the kitchen or staffing tables, treat them like friends and thank them for what they do for the lodge. We are a wonderful organization full of kind, caring people and I am proud to be a part of it. Let's always continue to strengthen the ties that bind both within the Order and with prospective members. Have a Happy and safe Thanksgiving! All the best, Mary From the 3D Secretary – Julia Nilsen Wishing you blessings of health, happiness and success on Thanksgiving and always. Just a reminder, that I would like lodge officer installation information from you so I can compile a schedule and most importantly honor your request for the District Officer of your choice to install your new board. If you are not changing officers this year, I need to know that as well. Please fill out the 2014 Officer Installation Form which can be found on the District 3 Website under Forms. Unfortunately, I can’t accept an email with your request as I need to have the form filled out. Also, the D-63 or Change of Officers Form is due by December 15th to SON, but if you can send it sooner it would be greatly appreciated. Also, please send me a copy as well as I will use this information to update the Membership Directory. ALL LODGES STILL MUST COMPLETE THE FORM EVEN IF THERE ARE NO CHANGES. Please mark your calendar for the District 3 Convention on June 11-15, 2014 in Albany, New York. The various committees are hard at work planning a great convention. Spend a few extra days in New York’s Capital Region and visit some of the historical sites and fabulous attractions that are in the surrounding area. Stay informed through the District Website and the District Newsletter. As always, if you have any questions call or e-mail me. Again, I wish you a Thanksgiving filled with joy! 2 Spotlight on Membership By Mary B. Andersen, 3D VP “Nothing endures but change.” Heraclitus This month, the spotlight is on…………….. This month we are going to focus on lodges that are changing the way they communicate. We have gone from the mailed letter to the internet, cell phones, texting, linkedin, Facebook , twitter and on and on. Collectively, these internet tools and many more are referred to as social media. Wikipedia defines social media as "…. the means of interactions among people in which they create, share, and/or exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks". Digging a little deeper - A virtual community is a social network of individuals who interact through specific social media, potentially crossing geographical and political boundaries in order to pursue mutual interests or goals." Your lodge is a social network. You interact at lodge meetings and at events outside of lodge meetings. You communicate lodge events via your newsletters. Our Norwegian heritage is our mutual interest. To connect with our heritage and learn more about it is one of our goals. Social media can help maintain the connection and extend our reach. It allows us to continue the lodge experience even when we are unable to be physically present in the same room. Social media allows us to enhance our monthly (or bimonthly) newsletter with daily updates enabling us to keep in touch and to learn many interesting things about our heritage. Think of how powerful that is! It is powerful in terms of both retention of existing members and potentially attracting new members. More and more of our lodges utilize Facebook to keep in touch with existing members and share information about our heritage, whether it is recipes, pictures of Norway, pictures of lodge events or just informative posts. In fact, Southern Star has created a new Board position - Social Media Director. The Social Media Director will be in charge of all things internet related and will work closely with the lodge's publicity director and social director. Talk about embracing change; congratulations Southern Star! Check out a few of our lodges with Facebook pages (see box below). All loaded with great information. It’s an efficient and entertaining way to keep current with your lodge. Give Facebook some thought. I am going to mention a 3D Facebook page at our upcoming Board meeting. I will keep you posted. Before you embark on a Facebook page for your lodge, download the Sons of Norway media policy. It can be found under lodge forms in the Management tab of the members' only section of the Sons of Norway website. “Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.” Wayne W. Dyer You never know, maybe after you visit a few of these Facebook pages, you may change the way you think about it! Norsk Carolina Norumbega Fredheim Hudson Valley Gulfstream Lodge Southern Star Drammen Loyal Lodge And don't forget Land of the Vikings 3 Land of the Vikings (LOV) is now on Facebook. facebook CULTURE by Kathy Dollymore, Cultural Director This month we will discuss one of the approximately 192 Viking gods of Norse mythology. Who Was the Norse God Thor Thor the god of thunder is the most famous of the ancient Norse gods. He was the most popular god of the Vikings, even surpassing his father the chief god Odin. His mother is Jord and he is married to a fertility goddess named Sif. Their sons are Modi and Magni and they have a daughter named Thrud. Thor's assistant is Thialfi. Thor’s particular enemy is Jormungand, the enormous sea serpent who encircles Midgard, the world of human civilization. At one point he tries to pull Jormungand out of the ocean while on a fishing trip, and is stopped only when his giant companion cuts the fishing line out of fear.

  • Tribute to George Stevens at Museum
    The Museum of Modern Art lii RELSE: 1 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable; Modernart January 8 , 1970 TRIBUTE TO GEORGE STEVENS AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART A tribute to George Stevens, one of America's best-known film directors, will be given by the Department of Film of The Museum of Modern Art from January 8th to 27th. Cover­ ing a span of three decades, this retrospective will consist of eighteen of Stevens' films including not only such well-known pictures as "Shane" and "A Place in the Sun," but also "Alice Adams," "Gunga Din," and "Woman of the Year." At the same time the Museum will commemorate the director's work by publishing the first book-length study of his films: "George Stevens: An American Romantic," by Donald Richie. i^ In the introduction, Willard Van Dyke, Director of the Museum's Department of Film, describes Stevens as "a craftsman who became an artist, a romanticist who de­ veloped into a realist." His work reflects many of the salient social and philosophi­ cal attitudes of his times. As a result, audiences identify with the characters in Stevens' films and, in the opinion of Van Dyke, "whether or not he intended such a thing, Stevens has, in a very important way, become the spokesman for his country and his era," because he shared with his audiences so many of its assumptions. What are these assumptions? In his study of the director, Donald Richie refers to the traditional American values of the past to which George Stevens, born in Oak­ land, California in 1904, was heir.

  • Irish-American Culture and Acculturation
    tAhree Irish-American Culture and Acculturation herever they settled in their new American homeland, immigrant groups had to go through Wthe sometimes-difficult process of preserving or rejecting parts of their native cultural tradi - tion. In general, the Irish were singularly fortunate in being able to preserve many of their customary patterns of life and association. In particular, the Irish were spared the linguistic alienation experi - enced by many other ethnicities as they adapted to their English-speaking workplace and neighbor - hoods. As it had in their homeland, the Catholic religion remained both a spiritual solace and a bulwark of communal identification. Social clubs and Irish bars rivaled parishes as social centers, es - pecially for the unmarried, and traditional Irish music and dance proved to be among the most en - during aspects of Irish culture among Irish immigrants to San Francisco and the surrounding area. The appeal of Irish music, not only on the stage and in the dance hall, but in pubs, clubs, church halls, and private homes, was perennial. In the first essay, Gearóid Ó hAllmhuráin traces the history of traditional Irish music in San Francisco from its origins as an authentic expression of an immi - grant community during the Gold Rush to its latter day transformation into a “folk” idiom of nearly universal appeal. Dance halls like the Knights of the Red Branch (KRB) were immensely popular in the city and often proved to be quite literally the “ballrooms of romance” for many young couples. For immigrant offspring, the more formalized, reinvented traditional dance promoted by the Gaelic League, complete with stylized costumes, served as a mode of valuing and perpetuating Irish culture.
