We need your baked goodies....cookies, cakes, candy, breads,
muffins, whatever your specialty for Normanna’s bake sale at the
bazaar. Pease bring your donations to the hall Thursday, November 13th, during set-up, if possible. (If not, Friday morning is

fund-raiser of the year, and the bake sale needs your support!!!!
We will roll lefse for the Bazaar 29 Oct. – 9 AM

Hilsen fra Presidentin
President’s Message
November 2014
The kick off to the “Holiday Season”
was our lutefisk dinner which was a great success.
The lutefisk and all the trimmings were deilig (lutefisk
is an acquired taste), the Everett Norwegian Male chorus sang several times, and we were happy to have
many people from the Oslo Lodge in Bremerton to join
the festivities. We give a special thanks to Kevin
Hegge and his crew of lutefisk cookers and all the other volunteers who served, and cleaned up and generally kept the process going. These events would not happen without the help of committed volunteers.
The Boutique was also open with the many
Scandinavian and Christmas items. There are two more
pancake breakfasts, and the Scandinavian Festival
(previously the Bazaar) held on November 14th and
15th when the Boutique will be open and offering many
new items for your Christmas shopping. A big thank
you to Lori Schadoff, Sidra Egge and crew who are
doing a wonderful job with the boutique.
The Scandinavian Festival will not only include shopping but the big draw - food!! The luncheon
will be held both days and a codfish and meatball dinner on Saturday afternoon only. This was a big hit
last year. More “snow birds” will have gone south for
the winter so all volunteers are welcome and needed.
Another big event will be the Julebord on
December 7thso be sure and put it on your calendar.
This is a great time to taste many Scandinavian delicacies.
On a business note, the nominating committee
will soon be asking lodge members to volunteer to be
officers who will be voted on at the November meeting. Please say “yes” and help lead the organization
into the next year.
Finally I want to wish you all a “Happy
Thanksgiving”!
Fraternally,
Janis Ahern
Letter to the Editor:
O LUTEFISK, O LUTEFISK!!
A big thanks to all of you that helped at our annual
Lutefisk and Meatball Dinner on October 19th.
It was great to see so many of our members and friends
come out to enjoy our yearly tradition.
Thank you for your support.
Mark your calendars, Normanna celebrates with
Lutefisk every year on the third Sunday of October.
Mange Takk,
Kevin Hegge
Chris Berg is looking for people to work on
committees for the Firewise program, and a
Forest Stewardship program. These are very
important for the park. We are a certified community and have to continue to maintain our
certification by logging hours worked on our
lots, with Chris. 360-435-6910
Normanna Park is a wonderful place to share
with our canine companions. Please be a courteous dog owner. Keep your dogs on a leash,
control their barking, and please clean up after
your pets. These are posted rules. There have
been some complaints about dogs this summer.
Fall and Winter months are a good time to
check out activities at the Everett Lodge. There
are many volunteer opportunities. The pancake
breakfast is a good way to get together with
friends and family. The newsletter provides
monthly lodge activities.
Remember that if you did not attend the Fall
work party, you are required to pay a $25 non
participation fee, or work on a project at the
park on your own time. You can check in with
Chris Berg for a task. Thanks to all who have
already paid or worked.
The grill in the cookhouse needs a good steam
cleaning, not just the top, but the insides
too! We use it for fund raising breakfasts, and
for camp. If you can help with this, please contact Lisa Maher, 360-805-6909.
Winter is approaching, be sure to winterize your
cabin. Turn off the water and drain the pipes.
Park Board meetings are the second Wednesday
of each month.
Please have your Normanna Lodge membership
card handy, and a sticker on your car when visiting Lake Riley. Remember to honk twice
when you enter the park. Call Chris Berg, 360435-6910, for lodge and camping reservations,
and let him know when friends and family
members are using your lot.
There will be a children’s Christmas Party at
Lake Riley on Saturday, November 29.
Festivities will begin at noon.
