Dear Members,
Our February Sons of Norway newsletter is linked below.

As you read through this month’s updates, please take special note of our request for volunteers to provide “a little lunch” following the woodcarving program. This small contribution makes a big difference in keeping the group welcoming and well‑supported, and we would truly appreciate anyone who can help.
