Well tomorrow evening is our Fundraising Dinner for the Scandinavian Camp in a couple weeks. Our community has been working our rears off to bring this together.
What great Folk Building going on from all corners of Odin's Holy Nation...from Hengest's endless working on web marketing for it from England, to Jennifer AOR's tireless, consistent creation of kids coloring sheets, activities, etc.. from Georgia, to all the Acorn Hollow donators that criss cross all of Midgard. Not just affecting our own circle of friends, but rather connecting all our Folk to a greater purpose.
I saw the most awesome quote:
".....But...as I keep on pointing out, THERE IS NO SAFE HARBOR WHEN A GREAT EMPIRE COLLAPSES! We must instead, build our communities and our families so they are strong enough to withstand the coming storm.... "

Building the fabric of community is THE most important job we as a Folk have right now... The threads of that community?
- Business that generate wealth that then funds other businesses, hofs, halls, etc...
- Functions that bring the beauty of our Culture and Heritage to not only our families, but to our greater community.
- Private functions that connect and enrich our local families.
- Provide materials to continually renew our spirit within our homes.
- Educate the public about our Heritage and our Faith through community programs.
The key to all of these goals is a core group that makes them a reality, that builds strong communities.
This core group is putting on a great dinner with traditional Scandiniavian dishes that are handmade. Each Family is taking one table to help our guests learn about the beautiful, unique, and valuable Scandinavian Culture.
Thank you to:
The Webb Family
The Lewis Family
The Lauber Family
The Hobson Family
The Metzger Family
and of course Jennifer Hooper AOR, Hengest Thorsson OR, and all our Acorn Hollow Families and OR Families that help out so much!
Faith, Folk, Family!
Hyndla OR
