Dear Members of Nordfjordlag,
The 2024 annual meeting of the Nordfjordlag will be held on Sunday,
September 15th at the Green Lake Bible Camp in Spicer, MN.
Now for some exciting news. Please check out the new "Nordfjordlaget in
America Est 1909" private Facebook Group. At last look there were
94 members with many joining from Norway. Join in on the fun and you may
find contacts from Nordfjord you are related to.
So, I look forward to seeing you at the Stevne. Perhaps you can invite a
relative or acquaintance to be your guest. It might inspire them to
join.

Nordfjordlagets Trip Committee has been working along with the Nordfjord History Association
all winter on plans for our 2025 trip to Norway. The dates are designed to join Norway on their grand 200 year
celebration of the first planned immigrant crossing from Norway to the United States.
The committees currently have tentative plans for two trips.
One for Norwegian Nordfjordings to visit America and the
other is for American Nordfjordings to visit Norway.
The current schedule is for the American group to meet in Bergan, Norway
on Wednesday June 18, 2025 and the planned trip to end in Norway on Friday June 27th.
Travelers will be able to add side trips on either or both ends of the planned events.
The schedule is being firmed up and additional information will be posted here as soon as it is available.
