The Sverdrup Lodge is asking all Norwegians to contribute to the Heritage Center. They want to name a room “The Sons of Norway.” There would be a kiosk with your name of a loved one. Someone is coming to Jamestown at the Jamestown College Nafus Center from 10 a.m. to noon June 27 to discuss this.
Genevieve Siedschlag received a Golden Membership Award last month.
