Our May Meeting is Next Week!

Tuesday, May 20 
10:00 @ Høvik Kirke

Norway is a BEAUTIFUL place to live.
 So we should embrace it.  How, you ask?  You might just get some ideas at our meeting!

Our speaker is from the NTA,
the Norwegian Trekking Association, Norway's biggest outdoor activities organization.  

For some 140 years, they have been working to promote trekking and to improve conditions for all who enjoy the country's broad range of outdoor attractions.

You won't want to miss out!


HOSPITALITY NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Our lovely hostesses, Pamela and Naoko have asked for food donations for the meeting this Tuesday, May 16.  Please bring them by 10:00 so everyone can enjoy.  Also, if anyone would like to help out in the kitchen, they have a lot of fun back there!  Thank you SO much!  We can't wait to see what scrumptious items come in!

CHARITY NEWS

This beautiful hand-crafted blanket could be yours!  Each raffle ticket is 50 NOK.
If you came to the meeting in April, you got to see the unveiling of the beautiful blanket that our very own ICON Knitting Group created and so kindly donated to raise money for our charities.  We started selling tickets at the meeting, and we will sell tickets again a the beginning of the May meeting next week.  Then, we will draw our lucky winner early in the meeting.  The good news is that you can buy tickets online if you do so by Friday, May 16.  You don't HAVE to be present to win, but we'd sure love to see you there, anyway.
