we couldn't have done it without you.)<BR> Well, not exactly. &nbsp;Yes, Norway ran short of butter this Christmas and yes the lodge coffers are doing nicely, but I couldn't persuade the rest of the board to pursue this endeavor. &nbsp;(Do you know how many extra scholarships we could have funded?!) <BR> So, we'll still hold our annual lutefisk dinner Jan. 28 at the Elks Lodge in Boulder City. &nbsp;Lutefisk lovers, rejoice! &nbsp;This is always fun and the lutefisk has been exceptionally good these last few years! &nbsp;Thanks, in advance, to everyone for all your help. &nbsp;I look forward to seeing you there and, of course at our January 5th meeting, where a polar scientist who has studied in Norway will be our guest speaker. &nbsp;(Bring your Norwegian sweaters, too, since it's Norwegian Sweater Night!)<BR> Both events should make for a good start to the year, which I anticipate will be a great one for our lodge. &nbsp;But, surely, we are not perfect and can find areas where we can improve. &nbsp;That's where you come in. &nbsp;Please let my fellow board members and me know what you'd like to see in terms of programming and activities. &nbsp;If you'd like to see us change the way we do things, please let us know. &nbsp;If you'd like to take a more active role, please let us know that, too.. &nbsp;There is plenty of work to be done.<BR> We all want to make our organization the best it can be and to celebrate our Norwegian/Scandinavian heritage and culture. &nbsp;So we look forward to hearing from you. <BR> <I>Hilsen, Erik </I> <BR><BR><BR> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo_search.php?oid=41527296621&view=all" target="_blank">&nbsp;Click here to visit Vegas Viking's facebook photo page</a><BR> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/VegasVikingGang" target="_blank">&nbsp;Click here to visit Vegas Viking's on twitter</a> <BR><BR><BR> <H2><I>Mark your calendar !!!</I></H2> <I><B><U>January 28 2012</U></B></I> Annual Lutefisk Dinner<BR> Vegas Viking Lutefisk DInner - <I>Ssturday, January 28, 2012</I><BR> Advanced ticket salen only - get your reservation in early. &nbsp;Limited seating. &nbsp;
