NNW MEMBER NEWS<br />
PAVER CAMPAIGN<br />
IT'S A GREAT TIME TO SHARE YOUR LEGACY<br />
It’s a new and exciting year at NNW. Have you considered<br />
making you and your family a permanent part of the wonderful<br />
legacy we are building together?<br />
Our Legacy Paver Program offers those interested the chance<br />
to permanently celebrate their Nordic heritage and family<br />
roots. The 2’ x 2’ pavers on our Great Hall Patio, Café Patio and<br />
the Lingonberry Patio (outside the MLC Room) offer up to four<br />
lines for engraved dedications recognizing your ancestors, your<br />
family, special verses or sayings that are meaningful to you, or<br />
even a family crest or business logo.<br />
Legacy Pavers are available for a tax-deductible donation of<br />
$1,000, with these donations going directly to the upkeep and<br />
improvement of our Nordia House campus. Will you become<br />
part of our Legacy... and make us part of your own?<br />
With the start of <strong>2017</strong>, we are offering a special option for those<br />
who want to add a paver—make your donation in either four<br />
quarterly payments of $250 each; or 12 monthly payments of<br />
$83.33 each. For more information about the Legacy Paver<br />
Program and payment options, pick up one of the brochures<br />
in our lobby, call 503.977.0275 and ask for one to be mailed to<br />
you, or visit our website at www.scanheritage.org/donate. •<br />
We were pleased to join with<br />
long-time supporter Johanna<br />
Fedde in celebration of her<br />
98 TH birthday on February 5.<br />
Thank you for all the years of<br />
dedicated service to the Nordic<br />
community in Portland.<br />
Best wishes for a speedy return<br />
to health to both Anna Lundin<br />
and Larry West. Our thoughts<br />
are with you!<br />
Our sincere condolences to:<br />
Carol and Anne-Marie Lindstedt,<br />
loving wife and daughter of<br />
long-time supporter Robert<br />
Lindstedt. Though he passed<br />
away in December, he will be<br />
dearly remembered.<br />
Bo, Lars, Per and the whole<br />
family of Grete Kasch of<br />
Scappoose. Born in Helsingor,<br />
Denmark, she was an active<br />
part of the Danish community<br />
here for many years.<br />
And, as we go to print, we<br />
learned of the sad news of the<br />
passing of NNW supporter and<br />
Norske Rundanssere folk dancer<br />
Paul Herner. Always a delight<br />
to see at events here at Nordia<br />
House, he will be deeply missed.<br />
Inkeri Iwashita, a former<br />
resident of Lake Oswego,<br />
NNW member, and part of<br />
the Messiah Lutheran Church,<br />
also recently passed away in<br />
Finland. •<br />
