Come join us for coffee and conversation. We'll be discussing what occurred nearly 100 years ago
in Seattle and how the Scandinavians (Norwegians, Swedes, Finns, Icelanders, and Danes) were involved.
AND brainstorm project ideas to celebrate with in 2009! Scandinavian organizations from California to
Alaska took part in this event! Maybe your lodge or group did, too!
