President’s Corner
Christina Sallee, National President
Many of you probably had plans to go to District Conventions this spring. This weekend was supposed to be the Pacific Northwest District Convention in Tacoma, WA, and my husband and I was looking forward to visiting with our friends from the other lodges, but plans changed due to Covid-19 which is still charting its devasting path through the world. So I remind you to please check in with your Sisters to make sure everyone is still healthy and staying positive. As we cannot attend our monthly meetings face-to-face, I encourage you to call, email or send a letter to stay in touch. It is nice to get an uplifting greeting from your friends when you cannot meet up with them. I also want to encourage you to join us on Facebook both on our Tivoli Lodge #300 and Danish Sisterhood. April 16th was Queen Margrethe of Denmark’s birthday and she was celebrated with song and video greetings; I hope you celebrated too and were able to sing for her or sent her a card as the Supreme Lodge did on behalf of our organization.

We continue to raise funds for our treasurers to be inventoried, categorized and preserved by the Museum of Danish America, our partnership with National Foundation of Danish America is opening new opportunities for our organization, Tivoli Lodge is moving forward towards their goal and our postponed trip to Denmark will happen in 2021. So as you can see your Board is still working, and we have many irons in the fire, so keep reaching out and including us. I hope you all stay save at home and know that we will all soon be together again.
Christina Sallee, DSS National President
