Sons of Norway Snorre Lodge Contemporary Norway Fiesta Night
In the face of the challenging times of the past 3 years during the pandemic, Sons of Norway Snorre Lodge has seen a decrease in participation, engagement, and membership. Lodge membership median age is ticking upward resulting in a much smaller pool for volunteer efforts required for planning large social events of the past.
Snorre Officers, installed late January, committed in 2024 to reach a broader range of prospective members introducing them to what Sons of Norway has to offer from classical to contemporary cultural experiences, community service, arts engagement programs, heritage experiences, and smaller social activities and, so, Snorre Lodge invites you to “Fredagstaco”. In Norway, fredagstaco has become a cultural phenomenon. Coined by the younger generation it translates to “Friday’s Taco”. Tacofredag is another common name.
Since Norway is 8 hours ahead of the USA, our Fredagstaco night held on Thursday, March 21st from 5:30 to 7:00 pm at El Torito Restaurant at the San Leandro Marina will actually be Friday in Norway.
Join our officers and members in learning about Sons of Norway and Snorre Lodge as you embrace the cozy charm of “fredagstaco”, a Scandinavian tradition where tacos are celebrated as the centerpiece of a warm, convivial end of the week. This culinary ritual is more than food; it’s a cultural phenomenon bonding people over shells and salsa!
Are you or someone you know interested in Nordic culture? Is there something you want to know about Sons of Norway but are afraid to ask? Sons of Norway offers Nordic cultural experiences from classical to contemporary — something for everyone! You can find out more at www.sofn.com, but better than that is to attend our Norwegian Fiesta Night, Thursday, March 21, 2024 at the El Torito Restaurant at the San Leandro Marina. To RSVP, email [email protected] or call 650-245-8473.
The purposes and goals of the Founders were to protect members of Sons of Norway and their families from the financial hardships experienced during times of sickness or death in the family. Over time, the mission of Sons of Norway has expanded to include the preservation of Norwegian heritage and culture in our Society. We have grown since our beginning and are now the largest Norwegian organization outside Norway.
Join us and enjoy a “Taste of Contemporary Norway” and a night of information, conversation & camaraderie!
