(What's new?)
It was October business for sure but President Gitte moved it along with precision and humor so we almost didn't notice that time was passing. NE/CO District meeting is coming up next weekend, Ethel is our delegate and Joanna our Alternate - they are headed to Dannebrog, Nebraska with a Raffle basket in tow - items donated by lodge members. Ethel will represent us well and Joanna is District VP so we are in good shape. DSS 28th National Convention is coming up in 2023 in Minnesota and was discussed as well - Malinda has stepped up as our Delegate and Chris H. as our Alternate. Once again, we will be well represented. Thanks to all of you for volunteering your time and talents. We celebrated big birthdays - Margaret and Ethel and our hostesses put on quite the spread and hygge overall. Pia H. had made chili, Gitte cornbread and Anna was in charge of desserts - yum "lækkert" as the Danes say. Ethel presented heritage - "The Denmark Store" which was located in Nebraska close to where Ethel's family, and thereby also Tita's (Rick), had settled in the 1800s. Very interesting story, it actually evolved into handed down family stories from several members on life on that desolate land back in the early days of Danish immigration to "Amerika". Excellent research and presentation, Ethel - thank you! Next up - The Trollheim Craft Fair November 4 and 5. See you there.
