Nordic Northwest partnered with Broder Söder to put on a Norwegian influenced picnic style dinner in honor of the 17 TH of May, Norwegian Indepedence Day! Before a musical performance on piano, we served pølse med lompe, shrimp salad, cheeseboards and aquavit. It was a geat evening and we hope to host more collaborative dinner and event pairings soon! Did you know? June is full of Nordic independence! Denmark marks theirs on June 5 TH , Sweden on June 6 TH , and Iceland on the 17 TH ! In Denmark, although they do have Constitution Day off from work, you are more likely to find a political speech than a parade, and most Danes simply enjoy the weather on lawns drinking beer. The Swedes are often on holiday during their "Flag Day" but acknowledge their history with food and friends. Iceland’s national day was selected because it's the birthday of Jón Sigurðsson, a champion to the nationalist cause now commemorated through parades, theater and dancing. Keep an eye on our schedule to make the most out of summer with Broder and Nordic Northwest, including news on a summer dinner series! • NNW MEMBER & COMMUNITY NEWS NNW BOARD Mike Nelson President John Nelson Vice President Sonja Haugen Treasurer Kirsty Dickinson Secretary Anton Akervall John Bergström Kim Bergenser Aase Besson Bob Evenson Ross Fogelquist, Emeritus Leah Jørgensen Grethe Larson Katariina Lehtonen Ralph Tuomi Tim Wahlberg Congratulations on the upcoming nuptials of Leah Jørgensen & Asa Jean!
