The address will be sent to you after you sign up. \nLast year\, everybody brought their own picnic\, so we will ask you to do the same this year. Norwegian Society will provide water\, coffee\, and a delectable Norwegian marsipanbløtekake for dessert\, but please bring your own main dish and/or sandwiches as well as any other beverages you wish to consume. \nSome seating will be available\, but it would be great if you could bring your own chairs/picnic blanket. \nMany of you have been to the Staalesen Farm before and know they have plenty of outdoor space for everyone\, including room for children’s games. There is also a large open building where people may go in if the weather should be unstable. The traditional bonfire will be lit at dusk. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Norway in the 21st Century Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Photo courtesy of Dr. Pål Brekke  \nNorway in the 21st Century Luncheon\nwith Norwegian Solar Physicist Pål Brekke April 21 at 12 PM \nSeasons 52 Fresh Grill at Tysons Corner Center\, McLean\, VA \nRSVP below by April 17 (limited spots) \nPrice: $34 for members\, $39 for non-members/guests  \nThe Beautiful Northern Lights and the Dangerous Space Weather\nWhat is more beautiful on a cold winter’s night than catching a glimpse of the northern lights or “aurora borealis” dancing across the sky? This stunning phenomenon is deeply embedded in the mythology of many cultures. A little more than a hundred years ago\, an eccentric Norwegian scientist\, Kristian Birkeland\, realized that the sun bombards the Earth with particles creating the aurora. Today we observe the sun from satellites and can predict the Northern lights. However\, solar storms can also create havoc on our ever-increasing technology-based society. Just recently\, a solar storm knocked down 40 of the SpaceX’ Starling satellites. \nDr. Brekke will take the audience through the history of this phenomenon from ancient times to modern space-based science. He will also show pictures from his recent visit to Svalbard where the world largest optical aurora observatory is located and where NASA launches rockets into the daytime aurora. \nThe lecture will include clips from the award-winning documentary «The Northern Lights – a Magic Experience» as well as new stunning real time video of the Northern Lights. The best places to experience the aurora will be revealed. \nSeasons 52 is conveniently located in Tysons Corner Mall on the lower level. There is ample parking\, and the location is accessible by metro (Silver Line). Here is a link to their website where you will find the address and directions: https://www.seasons52.com/locations/va/mclean/mclean-tysons-corner/4515 \nIncluded in the price is one out of three entrees\, Mini Indulgence Desserts\, Coffee\, Tea (iced)\, and soft drinks. Please pick one the options when you RSVP.\n		\n							\n						\n				REGISTER			\n			\n					\n	 \nDeadline: Register by Sunday\, April 17\, 2022

SUMMARY:Virtual Norway in the 21st Century Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Norway in the 21st Century Luncheon\nThursday\, June 3\, 2021  at noon/1200\nwith Norwegian Solar Physicist Dr. Pål Brekke \nWe have the great pleasure of having renowned Solar Physicist\nPål Brekke join us from Norway on June 3 to give a talk entitled:\nNorway – a Small but Significant Space Nation (on top of the world).\nThere will be a short Q&A after his presentation. \nPlease RSVP using the form below to secure your spot! \n\nHere is short abstract of the talk that Dr. Brekke sent to us: \nNorway is leading the way in many space activities. We have long traditions in Aurora research since the innovative inventor and scientist Kristian Birkeland was the first to explain the phenomena in 1897. It was charged particles from the sun that sparked the northern lights. His legacy\, as the world’s first space scientist\, triggered an increased interest for solar physics – and today Norway has one of the best and biggest solar research groups in the world. \nDeveloping sophisticated space instrumentation is another field where Norway paves the way. We were one of the first countries to launch a ship detection system into space tracking over 40.000 ships every day. The system has been installed on the International space station and is flying on several satellites – and it has saved lives as well as discovered illegal fishing and smuggling.  One of the seven instruments on the NASA rover Perseverance is the Norwegian ground penetrating radar RIMFAX which can look several meters below the Martian surface. We have the world’s largest satellite stations located at Svalbard – which is also one of NASA and NOAAs most important ground stations to feed scientific and weather data to USA. \nAbout Dr. Brekke: \nDr. Brekke is a solar physicist\, expert on the northern lights and an international recognized lecturer. He currently he works as Lead Space Science at the Norwegian Space Agency. Previously he worked for six years at NASA Goddard Space Flights Center as the Deputy Project Scientist for the legendary sun-observing satellite SOHO. He received a Fulbright Fellowship in 1994\, ESA’s Exceptional Achievement Award in 2002\, and Laurels for Team Achievements from the International Academy of Astronautics in 2003. He is a Norwegian delegate to several European Space Agency Program Boards and also a Prof. II at the University Center at Svalbard (UNIS). Dr. Brekke is also the author of several international popular science books about the Sun and the Northern Lights translated into seven languages. He has recently produced the award-winning documentary «The Northern Lights – a Magic Experience. He is also a member of the exclusive Explorers Club in New York.

SUMMARY:Norway in the 21st Century Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Please join Norwegian Society of Washington\, D.C. for lunch on Friday\, January 11\, 2019 Noon-2 pm \nSeasons 52 Fresh Grill at Tysons Corner Center\nLower level\, near Barnes & Noble. Free parking or valet.\nMetro accessible by Silver Line Tysons Corner\n7863L Tysons Corner Center\, Mc Lean\, VA 22102\, Ph. (703) 288-3852 \n  \nMs. Pamela Banks – “Mission to Rjukan and the Race for the Atomic Bomb” \n  \n We will gather at our new venue Seasons 52 at Tysons Corner in McLean at 12:00/noon. Lunch will be served shortly after our arrival followed by a short introduction by 21st Century Luncheon Director Sigurd Neubauer and Ms. Banks’ talk. Parking is free\, but there is also a valet service available on the lower level. If you come by metro\, take the Silver Line towards Wiehle/Reston to the Tysons Corner station. \nPamela Banks’ family members served in the United States Army during World War II and their lives were profoundly impacted by the race to build an atomic bomb. One life was lost and another life was saved by President Roosevelt’s decision to develop experimental nuclear weapons and by President Truman’s decision to deploy them on Japan ending the war in the Pacific. The full story of their military service was discovered in 2010 when Pamela began clearing out the attic of her family home to move to Leesburg\, Virginia. She opened a wooden box containing pictures\, letters\, and documents that had been hidden for more than five decades and eventually learned why her uncle’s remains rest in Norway. \nPrior to moving to Virginia\, Pamela lived in both New York and New Jersey. She is currently a volunteer at the George C. Marshall International Center in Leesburg.  Following an extensive corporate career in human resources and organizational change\, she became a career transitions coach and an independent consultant. Pamela graduated from Columbia University with a Master’s Degree in Organizational Psychology and was trained as a business negotiations coach at the Program on Negotiation at the Harvard Law School.\n		\n							\n						\n				REGISTER			\n			\n					\n	 \nDeadline: Register by end of business Tuesday\, January 8\, 2019

While the question of what constitutes a distinctively Nordic art has been a constant debate\, the art in the exhibition retains a certain mystique and focus on themes that have held a special place in Nordic culture for centuries: light and darkness\, inner life and exterior space\, the coalescence of nature and folklore\, and women’s rights and social liberalism.\n
