Greetings All,In normal years, when we order several hundred pounds of lutefisk, Freya lodge arranges to purchase 50 pounds from us. This did not happen last year due to us ordering pre-packaged 2-lb lots. We will be ordering pre-packaged again this year.We have two 50-lb boxes of lutefisk in the freezer left over from 2019 that we will not be using again this year. Freya lodge has expressed an interest in acquiring this from us. I think we give them a good deal as I was about to suggest that w ...Continue Reading

Hi, Bruce,Since we have been talking about contacting people, my other daughter had an idea. She said maybe I could help people with the paperwork for receiving a cultural pin witha zoom meeting. Zoom I can do, as you know. Just not the setup. For one thing, she said people have more time on their hands, and with a little encouragement, may decide to participate this way. Also, they use their computers more now, and this would be a good way to get them to apply for something they may ...Continue Reading

The Installation date of Jan. 10 at 1:00 p.m. is fine with me.My daughter has since told me that I could have zoom meetings for teaching. So that would work great if I could present the information on how members could help tobring in new people. Of course, it would probably mean via email, but we would also go over the ideas when we are together again in person.I wouldn't know how to set up zoom, so that would be up to you or someone who might know how. Either way, I guess it will be a ch ...Continue Reading
