Dear Sisters, I've continually been getting many updates from all of you throughout the past several months. Keep it up, sisters! It's been such a joy seeing updates from lodges, pictures of both in-person and virtual events, and articles on all things Danish! As we approach the autumn, I'm looking forward to hearing more from each lodge and I'm thinking about upcoming things like the 2023 Sisterhood Convention and this winter's Christmas edition on the DSN. Don't forget to get your Christmas ads in early this year! Email me with any questions. While many of us still aren't able to travel due to the ongoing pandemic, I know some have been fortunate to visit Denmark or other sites with Danish history. If you haven't been able to, I hope you have revisited some of those places by looking back at your photos...and while you're looking at photos and recalling your past or recent trips...why not send some of those over to be featured on the cover of the DSN? In any case, I thank you all for submitting great photos, stories, updates and more for the DSN. I hope each of you is staying safe and healthy and that you're able to enjoy some nice autumnal weather. As always, you can reach me at editor@ danishsisterhood.com! Until next time, Lauren C. Nielsen, Editor editor@danishsisterhood.com

On the Cover Title: Kransekage Location: Racine, WI Photo by: Anna Nielsen The word "kransekage" translates to "wreath cake" in English, which fittingly describes this traditional Danish cake, often serves at New Year's celebrations. Some Danes and many Danish Americans also serve this cake for other special occasions including weddings, holidays, funerals and other special events. A Kransekage is made with almond paste and often can be found with little Danish flags adorning it.
