Officer's Corner: Nealna Gylling, National Trustee, Scholarship It is the beginning of a brand new year and this is always exciting. As the National Trustee in charge of Scholarships, this is especially exciting because it is once again time for Scholarship applications. The National Danish Sisterhood of America (that is YOU) awards up to six Betty Hansen Scholarships of $2,500 each to students in four-year colleges or post graduate studies, two $1,000 Scholarships (Olga Christensen and Mildred Sorensen) to students in 2 year or vocational schools and one $750 scholarship (Elizabeth Garde) to a student pursuing a medical career. Wow – that is a lot of scholarships. I have had the pleasure of notifying the recipients of these scholarships for two years – and let me say, those kids are GRATEFUL!!! You/we are doing important work in helping these young people achieve their goals. Thank you all!! So if you or your child is in college or going to be in 2022-2023, look at the requirements for the scholarship. The information
can be found on the website www.danishsisterhood.org under the pull down menu “What we do” or contact Nealna Gylling at trustee2@ danishsisterhood.com or 612-390-1374. Applications must be postmarked by March 1, 2021, so get yours in soon. Nealna Gylling, National Trustee, Scholarship P.S. A little bit about me. I live in central Minnesota where we will be driving on the lakes and ice fishing and snowmobiling when you get this newsletter. I know it sounds cold, but we dress warm and looking out across the lake is beautiful and pristine. I belong to a small lodge ( just 20 members) but we try to stay active with community events and programs. We are a new lodge ( just 16 years old) and the only lodge in Minnesota. I love being a national officer and I am sure my officer position is the best one – I get to give out the money!!!
