VIKING CHAPTER Norwegian Society of Texas

Call Website

The Viking Chapter of the Norwegian Society of Texas aims to promote and preserve the Norwegian heritage, and to foster cultural and friendly ties with Norway.

The Chapter covers the North Texas area and holds meetings & events in the Dallas Metro area. The VIKING CHAPTER and its seven sister chapters meet twice a year for the ALTHING meeting. The ALTHING is a statewide body with elected representatives from each of the local chapters, run by a president and additional officers, that governs the NORWEGIAN SOCIETY OF TEXAS (NST) and keeps all chapters working together on matters of concern to all. The overall purpose of the VIKING CHAPTER, run by a group of elected officers, is to cooperate with and assist the ALTHING with achieving the NST goals, and to plan and organize activities for its local members, always acting in accordance with the NST by-laws and motto:
“VI SKAL HOLDE VED LIKE VAAR NORSKE ARV” (We shall maintain our Norwegian Heritage). Every year the VIKING CHAPTER organizes and carries out four special events (in addition to other events, which may take place based on specific interests of its members):

SYTTENDE MAI (Norway’s Constitution Day)
SANKHANSAFTEN (Midsummer’s Eve)
LEIF EIRIKSSON DAY (The Chapter celebrates the American annual observance in honor of Leif Eiriksson with an annual banquet)
JULETREFEST (Christmas party)

The VIKING CHAPTER publishes a newsletter, the VIKING POSTEN, to keep members informed about plans, programs and activities of interest to the membership.

‘It is with great sorrow that I received the news that His Majesty King Harald V has died.

A whole nation is in mourning and the people of Norway are left with a deep sense of gratitude for a long life in the service of Norway.

For more than three decades as monarch, Harald V demonstrated an unwavering faith in the Norwegian people. He helped us to see the best in ourselves – and in one another.

King Harald found the words to bind us together when we needed them the most. He grieved with us after the attacks 22 July 2011. He cheered with us when Norwegian athletes excelled. And he guided us, with warmth, wisdom and openness, towards a society with a place for everyone. King Harald had a profound love for Norway. And Norway had a profound love for King Harald.
My thoughts and deepest sympathy are with the Queen and the entire Royal Family at this difficult time,’ said Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre on learning of the death of King Harald V.

King Harald V was born on 21 February 1937. He died at the age of 89.

The Government will be convening soon for a government conference at the Office of the Prime Minister, and after that an extraordinary meeting of the Council of State will be held at the Royal Palace with the new King.
