W elcome to our Northern Lights

Auktion! We thank you for your

generous support, donations, and continued help,

all of which benefi t the Nordic Heritage Museum.

We are proud to be part of the Museum and the

volunteer effort that maintains the documentation

and representation of our rich history.

We won’t forget the brave relatives who arrived

here to make a new start, or the mother countries to

which we are still connected. We are committed to

passing on to our children and grandchildren a deep

understanding of all that is Nordic and where our

legacy began. This auction supports the Museum’s

exhibits, festivals, language program, fi lms, featured

artists, and children’s programs, all of which ensure

the continuing story of our place in the world.

It has been a pleasure and honor to work with the

Museum staff, especially Mary Bond who did an out-

standing job coordinating all efforts and keeping us

on target in order for tonight to be a great success.

We are grateful for the countless hours that the auc-

tion committee and volunteers have given to ensure

that this event is a wonderful experience.

We hope you will enjoy this festive evening, espe-

cially the dinner and time spent with old and new

friends with a mutual spirit of generous giving.

Warmest Regards from the Co-Chairs,

Berit SjongCo-Chair of the 2013 Northern Lights Auktion

WeLComefromCeoericNelson

I am thrilled to welcome you to the

Northern Lights Auktion! Our 28th

annual gala features a tribute to the current

President of the Board and tireless supporter of

the Museum, Irma Goertzen.

We have created an evening filled with sensational

lots and many opportunities to support the Museum,

as well as special performances by the Norwegian

Male Chorus. I would also like to voice my appreci-

ation for all who have made this momentous event

possible: the Auktion Committee and Co-Chairs Berit

Sjong and Linda Christenson, our volunteers, donors,

staff, and especially this evening’s attendees!

The Nordic Heritage Museum is more than a mu-

seum; it is also a vibrant cultural center committed

to fostering appreciation for Nordic traditions. Our

dedication to developing diverse and innovative ex-

hibits, events, and educational experiences for adults

and children is one of our most important values,

and the annual Auktion provides crucial funding for

the Museum’s programs.

Your generosity during this year’s Fund-A-Need will

directly support our efforts to share Nordic culture.

Please contribute to these im-

portant endeavors by bidding

high and bidding often!

Thank you for sharing this

evening with us in support of

the Museum — we anticipate a

great event.

Fund-A-NeedThe Nordic Heritage Museum needs your help. Since open-ing our doors to the public in April 1980, we remain the only museum in the United States dedicated to celebrating the culture and heritage of the five Nordic countries.

This year’s Fund-A-Need will allow us to preserve the legacy created over 30 years ago and provide unique, immersive cultural experiences for Ballard and its nation-al and global visitors. The Museum continues to nurture its relationship with long-time supporters while engaging with new audiences. We present so many exciting events, from exhibitions and festivals, to community and educa-tional programs.

Last year the Museum presented more than 100 public programs, with such highlights as the exhibition Eight Seasons in Sápmi, the Land of the Sámi People, the Nor-dic Knitting Conference, PechaKucha, Soup & Cinema, Viking Days, and Yulefest. Among the 56,000 visitors last year, the Museum served 3,800 children who participated in education programming and visited on school tours.

The Museum is also a community, serving as a gathering place for celebrations like the Finnish Christmas Bazaar, as well as hosting the Norwegian Male Chorus and the Scandinavian Language Institute. We help keep the Nor-dic spirit alive by presenting such cultural projects as the book Voices of Ballard and Beyond and the Nordic Lights Film Festival.

The Museum is also the gathering place for innumera-ble partner organizations, while standing out as unique among them. And while the Museum continues to thrive, it is through your generous support that we are able to flourish. Support of tonight’s Fund-A-Need demonstrates not only your commitment to the Museum, but a passion

for your heritage.

numerous sources including events, special fund-

raising campaigns, grants, sponsorships, individual

contributions, and memberships. Each is critical to

our success.

We give special thanks to our President’s Club mem-

bers, each of whom pledge a minimum of $1,000

annually, and the Nordic Round Table members who

commit at least $5,000 per year toward membership.

Their patronage is vital to our ongoing success.

Through the support of these contributors, the

Museum is able to carry out our mission of sharing

Nordic Culture.
