Officer's Corner: Karen Vig-Keathley, National Trustee, Membership

Did you know you can request our DSS National table runner or banner. No matter what type of event you are having, promoting the Danish Sisterhood is easy with our marketing items. Our vertical banner with stand is perfect for inside spaces such as a registration booth or next to a display table. Our table runner is a great addition to your registration booth. We have several marketing items you can request nail files, heart shaped paper clips, phone wallets, book marks and our brochures. We will ship the requested items to you with a tracking number at our expense. You will be required to return the table runner and/or banner if requested to the DSS at your expense, insured with a tracking number. We will also include a form for you to send back to us this is an event report it will only take a few minutes to tell us a bit about your event. This information will be used to better serve the needs of our organization, and will be shared with the current National Board members to keep them up-to-date on the important activities of your lodge. You can contact me to request your marketing needs: trustee3@danishsisterhood.com

On a personal note I have been a member of DSS Lodge #4 in Chicago for 10 years. I was elected to the national board as trustee in 2019. For my lodge I have served as their secretary, trustee and social secretary. For the Midwest District I’m currently their secretary-treasurer. I currently work part-time for a large podiatry office and babysit for my 2 grandsons Connor 7 and Nolan 4. I’m also the Executive Director of the American Society of Podiatric Medical Assistants a national organization for podiatric medical assistants. I’m the great granddaughter of P.S. Vig he was a Danish American pastor, educator and historian in the Lutheran church. He was integral to the formation of the Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America and the United Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church. I’m extremely proud of my Danish heritage.

Denmark trip as we will be in the border area between Denmark and Germany, and I am sure there are many stories to be told in the contested areas during WWII. We still have some spots available on the trip so do join us for a trip of a lifetime by reaching out to Connie, or any one of the Board members, for more information.

Sisterly Regards,

Christina Sallee, DSS National President
