SUMMARY:Lodge Meeting: Lawrence Moe: 200th Anniversary of Emigration\, 1825
DESCRIPTION:This is the Year to Celebrate! We proudly honor our heritage as descendants of the first 50 Norwegians who bravely journeyed across the Atlantic Ocean to the USA\, a voyage that took three arduous months. Unlike the luxurious cruises of today\, they carried their own provisions\, packed their few necessities into a family trunk\, and endured the cramped conditions of a small ship. We are privileged to hear these incredible stories from Dr. Lawrence Moe\, a distinguished professor from the University of Minnesota. With his lifetime of historical expertise\, Dr. Moe will share tales that will instill in us a profound respect for the resilience and determination of our ancestors.\nwebsite for more information: https://kristiania1-47.org/
