Stein Fjell Lodge meets on the second Saturday of each month -- except July and August -- at Zion Lutheran Church, 815 E 16th Street, Loveland. Our meetings include cultural programs and socialzing while enjoying light refreshments. Posten is our newsletter and is published each month that we meet. You can visit us virtually on Facebook. We look forward to meeting you and spending an afternoon together!
Our next lodge meeting will be on April 8th from 12 to 2 p.m. at Zion Church. The program will be on Draken Harald Hårfagre, the world's largest Viking ship sailing in modern times. Built in Haugesund, Norway, the ship combines ocean-crossing sailing capabilities with a medieval warship's use of oars. Come and join us!
SAVE THE DATE
May 13: Syttende Mai Potluck, 12 to 2 p.m., Zion Church. The national day of Norway is an official public holiday observed on 17 May each year. Among Norwegians, the day is referred to as Syttende Mai (Seventeenth of May), Nasjonaldagen (National Day), or, less frequently, Grunnlovsdagen (Constitution Day). The Constitution of Norway was signed at Eidsvoll on 17 May 1814, declaring Norway to be an independent kingdom in an attempt to avoid being ceded to Sweden after Denmark–Norway's devastating defeat in the Napoleonic Wars. All over Norway, children's parades with an abundance of flags form the central elements of the celebration. Each elementary school district arranges its own parade through the community, with marching bands between schools and ending with an ice cream treat.
