We're
the only Sons of Norway lodge in St. Paul, with around 250 members, and
new members joining nearly every month. We
meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, usually at 7:00PM in First
Lutheran Church, 463 Maria Ave. at 8th Street East (map in General Info
and in Meetings/ Activities). Guests are always welcome.
Send us an Email via the link at the left if you have questions or are interested in joining our lodge, or if you find a "dead" link from our pages. If you join directly through us, the cost is only $41.50 per member per year, and $34.50 for the spouse. Please send an E-mail to our lodge to get a better address to send your check than to the church. Or, you can join online with a credit card via the main Sons of Norway site for $41.50 (and $34.50 for the spouse). Young Adults (16-23) can join for $23.50 or even free! (some stipulations apply). In any case, make the check out to "Sons of Norway", and be sure to specify our lodge by name (Synnove-Nordkap) and number (1-008) if you wish to be placed in our lodge rather than in the at-large group without a lodge, which will still entitle you to the Viking Magazine, but not a newsletter from our lodge. The international home of Sons of Norway (http://www.sofn.com) is right here in the Twin Cities. For news about the other lodges in District 1, see (http://www.sofn-1.com)Information for Board members only. (Private) |

If you have difficulty opening the calendar, you probably do not have Acrobat Reader installed. It is free, and can be downloaded and installed from their Website: Acrobat Reader. This is safe to do, and is an excellent general tool to have on your PC. It is not uncommon to find Portable Document Format files (.pdf's) as you browse the Internet, and Acrobat is the way to read them.
