The Nortonna Lodge 1-638 of the Sons of Norway will meet at 7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 17, at the Owatonna Elks Lodge, 126 East Vine. St. in Owatonna. Supper will be served at 6 p.m. for a cost of $8.
The February program is “The Stavig Letters.” The award-winning South Dakota Public Broadcasting Corporation film tells the story of Lars Stavig, who left his family in Norway and journeyed to the Dakota Territory. He and his brother Knut exchanged letters over the years, never meeting in person again. Their letters reflect the challenges faced by families in both Norway and the United States over five decades.
