PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE When I took this office last January it was important to me to maintain the aims of Embla "to build a strong support system and bond of friendship within the sisterhood and to maintain among it's members a knowledge of the history, culture, language and memories of Norway." I beli eve our meetings should beinspiring and enjoyable so we can all look forward to our next event. Bodil Lo voll has more great programs planned for next year. I'm very grateful to all my officers and many others for a job well done in 1995. We've had a busy year with cooking classes, P.L.U. Heritage Day, St. Hans Fest, Summer Salad Potluck, Rummage Sale and Scandinavian Festival. Next year we will add being in charge of the Grand Lodge Convention. W e have a strong Convention Committee to guide us through a most enjoyablc event. It will be an exciting time for all Daughters of Norway. So please plan to attend and help wherever you can. My biggest concern for Embla is that our new members can get lost among our large attendance and may not be recognized and made to feel welcome. May I suggest you sign up for activities and get involved. This is a good way for us toget to know you. You are our fu ture and we offer our bond of friendship within our sisterhood. May happiness brighten your holidays and remain with you throughout the New Year. Esther Van Noy, President
