| | The ACCN is
a non profit council of Norwegian - American organizations
offering member
organizations the opportunity to extend their horizons by
providing a network
to other American and Norwegian-American groups in
Norway. If you know of
any organization interested in joining, please let
us know. This is a fun
way to get to know other groups here in Norway.
Where has the summer
gone? I know that when it's time to write again for the
Fjord Flyer and the
website, Fall is just around the corner. Anyway, the Fourth of July Celebration
at Vigeland Park, by all accounts, was a great success. Though several of us committee
members were a little bit concern with security before the event, I'm happy to
report that everything went well. Thousands of Americans, Norwegians and other
nationals came to enjoy a funfilled summer day. The entertainment was superb,
children's and adult games were well participated in and the raffle prizes were
unbelievable. My favorite part is being able to line dance with the crowd and
the line dance teacher. I felt like I was back in Texas! Christine worked with
the decorating committee (great job!), and I was co-chair of the Raffle Committee.
We don't have the final tally yet but I was informed that we had record sales
of raffle tickets this year. Christine and I would like to thank all the American
Women's Club members who helped us that day - decorating, setting up, baking cookies,
selling books and raffle tickets etc. AWC was very well represented. I also would
like to thank a future AWC member, Karla P. who donated several of her beautiful
jewelry for the raffle. She just moved here from Texas not too long ago.
Looking
forward to seeing y'all at our Sept. meeting. Cora B. email
