From the President Ken Perley Here it is almost 2014; where did this last year go? I didn’t know what to expect this time last year. I had committed to acting as President of Sons of Norway, Trollheim Lodge for the next two years and I had only an inkling of what that might entail.
Well, let me tell you, this has been a most enjoyable year. You have all been wonderful help and I should never have questioned that for even a moment. Give yourselves a pat on the back for being one of the greatest groups of friends anyone could have; and thank you from this needy individual.
The upcoming year looks to be an exciting one. We will start out with a Leadership Meeting, followed by a Lutefisk Dinner. Then we will gather together to celebrate 40 years! Wow, what a start!
The Dameklub has been working hard on the 40th anniversary dinner and I know they are making great progress. If they ask for your help, please give them a hand.
Your Butikken has been a busy place during the last several months. The preliminary assessment is that it will provide some financial support for the lodge. As you are well aware it costs between $50,000 and $75,000 to support the lodge and its activities each year. Your support is needed and welcomed if we wish to operate with limited financial restrictions.
Here is hoping you had a tremendous Holiday and that 2014 will treat you kindly.
Ken Perley
Trollheim General Meeting Program Monday, January 20th, 2014

Sharron Ann Ehret
12/19/193611/29/2013
Sharron Ann Ehret, wife of Al Ehret, mother of Albert III, Diane and Cynthia passed away on Nov. 29th, leaving a void in the Ehret family where she was the "Major" of the household. She could mow the lawn, grow a beautiful flower garden, prepare three meals a day, find time for family, plus time to do crossword puzzles and enjoy the comforts of home. Sharron followed the events in the Trollheim Newsletter, and when the time drew near to the date of the event she would call and ask, "Well, what do you need help with?" When given the tasks that needed attention, she was there. Lutefisk Dinners and the Christmas Fair were her favorites. Sharron loved chocolate, Norwegian meatballs, and strong coffee. with her good sense of humor. She gave undivided attention to Al and every day they took two walks around the block. Sharron will be missed at Trollheim, especially in the kitchen. Who will do the bacon and slice the tomatoes, wash the pots and pans, and polish the silverware? We thank you, Sharron for your energy and friendship. We are going to miss you.
A memorial service was held for Sharron on Sunday the 8th of December at Trollheim Lodge. We wish to thank each and everyone for their attendance and contribution of food. Thank you to the kitchen crew for your help. God Bless the family in this time of sorrow. A card or a phone call would be appreciated.

Sunshine Corner By Bev King A warm Happy Birthday wish was sent to Dorothy Williamson who is now 101 years young. Her birthday was in December. Dorothy joined SON on 11-19-1984. We wish her many more years!
Trollheim Lodge has lost another member. Signe Rustad, a member of SON since 1978, passed away on Dec. 7. At this time, daughter Liz Ponder was overwhelmed since her father-in-law also had passed away a few days previously. This was too much to cope with, and information will be submitted later. We will have an obit on hand for the February News.
It was also reported that Connie Bartram had a death in her family. We’ve been told that she is in Montana due to the death of her brother. Cards would be in order: Connie Bartram; 3915 Simms Ct., Wheat Ridge, CO 80033-3873.
From Our Financial Counselor: LaRue Hanson
Retirement plans are often among your largest assets. Unfortunately, they are subject to some of the most complicated taxation; income taxes, premature distribution penalties, and estate taxes. Uncle Sam will one day get his piece of your retirement savings. This can lead to IRA implosion. You can overcome this with some careful planning and help from your Sons of Norway Financial Benefits Counselor. The choice is yours; ultimately liquidate the IRA you have spent a lifetime building or let us help you with a plan to protect your wealth and give you control.
Sons of Norway wants to help you be in charge of your financial dreams.

VOLUNTEER HOURS REPORTING FOR 2013
Every year in January, we are tasked with reporting our volunteer hours for all activities for the Lodge for the last calendar year. We will soon be handing out Trollheim Volunteer Tracking Report Worksheets to everyone so that they can report their volunteer hours for various events. These reports are consolidated and sent to District 6, and then on to SON Headquarters. We anticipate that these reports will be due the beginning of March. If you have any volunteers hours, be sure to report them or ask one of the Board members if they will report your hours on their worksheet. Don Peterson, Lodge Secretary, can provide a worksheet if you need one. It is important to report these hours accurately since this can affect our non-profit status with the IRS. We also will be filling out the Family Lodge of the Year Award form at the same time, although this form is one the officers will work to complete. Thank you for your cooperation. Don Peterson, Secretary, Trollheim Lodge

YMCA; Snow Mountain Ranch, Winter Park CO
The Sons of Norway’s District Six Colorado Lodges are proud to invite you to participate in the children’s Barneløpet for young people, ages 0 -16. Barneløpet is a noncompetitive ski event for children. It is modeled after similar ski events in Norway. Literally translated, Barneløpet means “children’s race.” Every skier finishes a winner! Sons of Norway’s Barneløpet is a FREE event open to boys and girls of all skill levels. It’s an event where the whole family can get involved. Parents, Grandparents and other spectators can line up at the finish banner to cheer the skiers on with cowbells and flags. All skiers receive a beautiful gold medal! Join us for an orienteering scavenger hunt on skis with a map. Adults can participate with their children, or on their own. Instruction on orienteering will be available throughout the day.
