Norwegian-Danish Friendship BBQ Luncheon @ the Danish Soldiers Club
This promises to be the first ever joint event between NCSF and the Danish Soldiers Club. For 2024, it will take place at the DSC’s event compound in Petaluma (4560 Kastania Rd). In honor of this joint event between these two clubs, the Norwegian and Danish flags will both proudly fly side-by-side from DSC's two flagpoles on Kastania Road. In addition, the noon flag-raising will feature both the Norwegian and Danish national anthems.
Honored Guest Speaker:
We are delighted to announce that the chaplain of the Norwegian Seaman's Church of San Francisco, Jon Olav Berg Hjelde, has genorously offered to deliver a brief PowerPoint presentation on the history of (and differences between) Norwegian and Danish aquavit!
