Subject: 6.6 
Sons of Norway

<From: Ruth M. Sylte>

Sons of Norway also has special membership categories for children and young people. Children (up to age 15) who are the children *and/or* grandchildren of Sons of Norway adult members can be FREE "Heritage" Members in Sons of Norway. This entitles them to a number of benefits, including a quarterly newsletter geared specifically for that age group. The newsletter often carries penpal requests from American and Norwegian children. Young people - (about ages 15-22) can join SoN at a reduced membership rate and receive a newsletter geared toward their age group.

SoN also sponsors summer camps where children can go to get an introduction to Norwegian language and culture. They also offer scholarships to study at "Camp Norway" - a 6 week summer language camp in Sandane, Norway - and the University of Oslo's International Summer School.

There are a number of active SoN lodges in the San Francisco area. Indeed, anyone looking for Sons of Norway can usually find them organizing the local Syttende Mai events. :-)

Sons of Norway has a Heritage Books department (run out of a store called "Tomten") that offers books in Norwegian and English that deal with the subjects listed above (and many others). They can be reached at:
