Reschedule of Lecture, plus meeting May 8th?
I've been out of town, so here's some more information:
I presume there is a meeting May 8th at the Norse Hall at 11:30 unless otherwise noted. Be sure to contact Frank Krone for verification before coming all the way down there.
Also, I have this from Rick Walker from April 23rd: This is a request to the Norse Lodge about printing a notification of the rescheduled Lecture at PSU...
He says:
"I have been requested by the board of the Pacific Coast Viking Ship Foundation to see if the lodge will print in your next news letter a notification of an event we are sponsoring at PSU. The Pacific Coast Viking Ship Foundation's mission is to complete a replica Viking Ship for display and possible sailing on the Columbia River. This ship has been in the making for over 10 years and needs to be completed and cared for in a manner that will benefit the Scandinavian community of the region.
The event is a power point presentation by Barry Anderson, a retired PSU professor who will talk about Viking Ships and their navigation to the new world, throughout Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The talk will be given before the Friends of History group in Room 171 of Cramer Hall, at PSU on May 15th, at 7 PM. Refreshments will be served beginning at 6:30 PM in the Finnish Room, Room 124 across the hall where attendees can meet members of the Viking Ship Foundation to get an update as to the progress of the ships reconstruction.
Thank You for your consideration.
Rick Walker, Sec. PCVSF"

Jason Curl Bob Lee
Dave Alford Michael Curl
Frank Krone Jeff Williams
Meeting began at 11 AM at Grieg Lodge. Frank Krone updated the committee as to the final preparation for the Friends of History meeting on the 16th of April. It was discussed and agreed that presenting the film prior the lecture was too much so the showing of the film was dropped. Michael Curl offered his easel for the meeting. He will also have a Viking ship model and a set of plans for a ship in art form.
Bob Lee presented to the PCVSF the paper work regarding the federations federal tax registration, number 91-1819724. The information included the Articles of Incorporation as a nonprofit, a constitution which stated the purpose and activities of the foundation, and a copy of the organizational meeting held on June 19, 1997, and a copy of the by-Laws. Rick Walker, Sec. took possession of the materials and will scan these documents which will be kept in a safe place.
Frank Krone reported that he may have found someone who has a building that could house the ship during repairs. This is a maybe only at this time.
The discussion then focused on the Cups to be available for sale at the 16th Friends of History meeting. After lengthy discussion a cup design was agreed to that included: at the top Pacific Coast Viking Ship Foundation, a Viking ship design, below the name of the ship SLEIPNIR, which means Odin’s Horse, and at the bottom of the cup will be our mini blog site. This information was given to Jeff Williams who will have the artwork prepared. When finished it will be posted and all can see it prior to the cups being finished.
It was suggested to find out how much it would cost to get a two sided cup to help with the potential design of the cup. Frank Krone would check into it.
It was not known if the United Grocers were going to donate cookies to the 16th event, so several members offered to bring snacks including a larger coffee pot. Several would be wearing their traditional bunads. Tom would contact the ladies social to see if they wanted to prepare some eats.
The next meeting is scheduled for the 10th of April at 11 AM at Grieg Lodge.

Meeting began at 11 AM at Grieg Lodge. Frank Krone updated the committee as to the progress with the Friends of History meeting on the 16th of April. Frank mentioned several corporate sponsors were fourth coming with assistance with the meeting with coffee and most likely cookies and other refreshments. Frank also explained that the orders for the cups would be placed prior to April 5th, and that there was not sufficient funds to add any additional items for fund raising. Any and all available fundraising items remaining from the previous acquisitions would be brought to the April 16th meeting. Frank also reported that Room 494 was reserved for our use prior to the meeting for movies.
William H. Alsdorf, pulled out his Viking movies for discussion. The VHS format would cause some issues with the lodge’s equipment so Jason Curl offered to bring his DVD of the Vikings, which will also be shown at the Second Tuesday Film Night at the lodge. Rick Walker, mentioned that the committee would be bring the stew and fresh bread to the movie showing.
Frank passed out flyers describing the Friends of History presentation on the 16th to the members for distribution to various venues in Portland. Many suggestions were made regarding the best locations for flyer distribution. Frank also reported that he would be contacting the Secretary of State offices to correct minor non-profit documentation issues, that needed to be corrected. There is $300 remaining in the previous account that Tom Birnie would be transferring to the Pacific Coast Viking Ship Foundation for deposit in an account. Jason Curl and Rick Walker will be meeting next Monday at noon to open the account with the bank. The account will open with the $300, plus membership fees that have been paid.
Jeff Williams noted that members needed to be contacted via e-mail prior to the meetings. Jeff offered to set up a blog spot for the PCVSF, to allow for better communication. Jeff received all the member contact information and e-mail addresses to create a mass mailing list for meeting notices.
Roger Lane reported that the Viking Ship Model had been located and that it was being shipped, to be available for the 16th meeting. Several other ideas were discussed regarding how to make the best impression for attracting donations. Ron Peterson offered his photograph for replaction purposes for fund raising purposes. Jason Curl mentioned that he could perhaps find a discounted source for photo paper to keep the cost down.

Frank Krone called the meeting of the Pacific Coast Viking Ship Foundation (PCVSF) to order at 11:00 AM at the Grieg Lodge, 111 NE 11th Street.
After discussing several general issues of coordination, the question was asked as to where the ship model was. This model would be very helpful in drawing attention to the PCVSF at the upcoming fundraisers. The fund had paid for the model thus PCVSF should have access to the boat. Rodger Lane reported that he had seen the model at the Hegrenes Residence, and that he would pick it up next time he visited.
Roger when on to report that there was no wood remaining at the Hegrenes’s residence and that no one knew where it has gone. The oars were missing too. A lot of the boat parts were missing. The large mast seating log was broken and most likely not usable. Rodger went on to report that he did know where the head was, and would pick it up as it too may be a good attention getter at the fund raisers even thought it may not be used on the completed boat.
Bill Alsdorf expressed his concern that the headpiece was not in character with a Viking ship and that other designs would be more authentic. `
Frank Krone reported that he had a brief discussion with Larry Page, a Norwegian fisherman, at a recent trade show. Larry lives at the coast and he expressed interest in perhaps providing storage for the boat at the coast. Frank went on to say that it should be our first priority to relocate the boat out of the weather, so that no further damage would occur. Several expressed having discussions with folks that may be interested in finding a place for the boat. Several said that they would continue to seek shelter for the boat. Frank reported that Portland Public Schools reported that they were in a transitional planning phase and had no space to commit to storage of the boat. Rick Walker reported that he knew several leasing agents at the Port of Portland and that he would contact them to see if they would be interested in providing some space.
Next item for discussion was dues. Dave Alford suggested a structured dues program that included cups and coffee as an incentive. Bill Alsdorf seconded the motion, and Bob Stevens called to question that specifics needed to be agree upon. After discussion it as agreed that dues would include a foundation friend at $10, a member at $20, and corporate participation would be encouraged without any specific dues level set. When available, the coffee cup and some coffee could be added to the Dues at an additional cost of $5 at both the Foundation Friend and Member level. Bill moved, seconded by Dave, and approved by those present. It was later discussed and voted that membership would be on a calendar year basis, and that those joining after October 1st would have membership throughout the next calendar.
The board then discussed briefly the cup design, noting that significant savings could be had if the design for the cup was provided by the Foundation rather than the cup maker. Thus, it was agreed that foundation members would seek to establish a design generally integrating the Viking ship in the design.
When developing the design and other fundraising items, the name of the ship needed to be settled. It was generally agreed that the previous name Lakselv, had no historical significance and that we should explore others. Several others were mentioned including naming the boat after Rick Hagernes. Several expressed concern that the name should be identifiable from an historical perspective to enhance greater participation and to possibly attract grant funds. One name offered Ormenlange, had good historical relevance as expressed by several members as well as the name Birnie Harlodson. Discussion also included naming the ship for Norwegian Mythical Gods. After further discussion, it was agreed that it would be premature to name the boat at this meeting. Several would follow up on contacting Rick Hagernes’s family to see if they had any objections if we decided to use his name, while Bill Alsdorf offered to research to see if any other boats were using any of the suggested names, most notably Ormenlandge.
Tom Birnie reported that Berry Anderson, a retired PSU professor was willing to present his Viking ship program before the Friends of History group in Cramer Hall on the 16th of April. Bernie would ask Mr. Anderson if he was willing to make the presentation gratis, which would help the fund raising efforts. The board members agreed that we should attempt to bring our own refreshments as having them provided could cost up to $250. Rick Walker then reported that the Grieg Lodge Centennial Group had invited the PCVSF to attend their event on April 15th and 16th in the crafts room, and that they also would enjoy and encouraged us that Mr. Anderson could make this presentation on one or both of these days. After a brief discussion Tom agreed to approach Berry Anderson to see if he was willing to do a presentation at the 17th of May celebration, while others agreed to see if the lodge had the equipment to accommodate Professor Anderson’s power point presentation.
Frank Krone reported that Grieg Lodge had a scholarship that fit the purposes of the PCVSF. Dave moved that we apply for the grant, Frank seconded, and after discussion all agreed to submit an application.
Dave Alford suggested that the Board clarify under 501-3C requirements who were the voting members. And that it should be dues paying members. The membership paid or committed to pay dues. Those paying were Dave Alford, Johanne Fedde, Rodger Lane and William Alsdorf, and Tom Birnie.
General discussion perused regarding methods to generate funding including contacting IKEA, the producer of the new Mel Gibson movie on Vikings, adding a pancake breakfast at the lodge, and involving other Scandinavian groups. It was re-emphasized that this project was not a Grieg Lodge project but needed to be an entire effort from the Sardinian Community. The lodge would be contacted after the Centennial Celebration to see if an additional pancake breakfast weekend could be added to the schedule for the PCVSF. It was also suggested that perhaps we could do a Swedish or Danish breakfast. Dave would investigate further.
Discussion then shifted to the web page as an outreach tool. How to get access to the page was discussed with Rick Hegrenes’s Daughter mentioned as the most likely person to have the password and needed information to update the web page.
It was agreed that the Friends of History presentation would be on April 16th at 7:30 PM, in Room 171 of Cramer Hall. Refreshments would be served beginning at 6:30 PM in the Finish Room 124. Rick will notify Grieg Notes about the presentation to see if they will put it in the newsletter. The decision for the items to be sold needed to be resolved at the next meeting to assure availability at the April 16th meeting. Ginnie Oestrevch suggested considering a patch rather than hats or shirts in that patches were easier to manage as a fundraiser. To this end, the next meeting was agreed to be on March 13th, 11 AM at the Grieg Lodge. After further discussion it was moved and approved to convene the next meeting on March 13th at 11:00 AM, at Grieg Lodge.
The Meeting adjourned at 12:30 PM

Frank Krone called the meeting of the Pacific Coast Viking Ship Foundation (PCVSF) to order at 11:00 AM at the Grieg Lodge, 111 NE 11th Street.
Due to the schedules of the Board Members the first item for consideration was the election of the Board Members.
Nominations opened with Kunt Austad nominating Frank Krone for the position of President. Tom Birnie seconded the motion, and the motion passed unanimously.
Nominations opened for Vice President with Tom Birnie nominating Dave Alford. Frank Krone and the Motion Passed seconded the motion.
Nominations opened for Secretary, with Kurt Austad nominating Rick Walker. Tom Birnie seconded the motion, and the motion was passed.
Nominations for Treasurer was opened, with Jason Curl nominating Michael Curl. Rick Walker seconded the motion, with the motion passing.
The next item for discussion was concerning the issue of promotional items to generate revenue to supplement the $400, currently in the foundation’s bank account. The first item for consideration was a promotional cup that could sale for between $10 and $15. This cup would likely cost the foundation $2.53 per item with a minimum order of 144 cups or ($2.53/cups X 144 cups) $364.32. These cups would be mono colored, with art selected by the Board.
Frank Krone reported that he had contacted the State of Oregon to determine if the completion of the Viking Ship would qualify for any cultural or historical grants. Frank had not heard back from the State. Frank has also sought to contact the Oregon Cultural Trust to see if they had any grant monies for which the ship reconstruction would qualify. As of the date of this meeting, he had not received a response. Frank Krone opened a discussion of the foundation partnering with the Portland State “Friends of History” group. He suggested that this group would be interested in hearing about the Viking Ship reconstruction and would likely donate space at PSU for an informational meeting. Tom Birnie knew of a film about Viking Ships that should attract a good amount of people. Tom also knew of a retired professor, Berry Anderson, who was very knowledgeable and who might be interested in making a presentation about Viking Ships. Tom Birnie volunteered to contact the Friends of History group and Berry Anderson to see if they would be willing to schedule a Viking Ship movie and lecture on April 16, 2010 in Cramer Hall at PSU.
It was later discussed that the Board needed to move forward on the promotional cups at the next board meeting to assure that the cups could be used to raise funds at the Friends of History meeting on the 16th of April.
The board discussed coordinating with the Centennial Planning group to determine if the PCVSF could participate in the celebration, buy having a booth, and presenting a lecture and film about Viking ships. Review of the celebration activities found that the most likely way to participate is to participate in the Cultural and Crafts activities taking place at the lodge on the 15th and 16th of May, and to participate in the parade on the 19th. Rick Walker volunteered to contact the Centennial Committee to see what was possible and to also see if The Grieg Notes would publish a notice of the Foundation’s presentation to the Friends of History group at PSU.
The next item of discussion involved dues. The previous Viking Ship Foundation had charged $15 dues to be a foundation member. This would allow those interested to keep abreast of the ship reconstruction activities. Knut Austad reported that he had a long list of interested folks who wished to be kept abreast of the ship’s progress that could be used to solicit membership in the foundation. After the foundation opened an accessible account into which funds could be maintained, there would likely be a campaign to solicit membership in the foundation, most likely beginning with the Friends of History presentations on the 16th of April at PSU.
The discussion briefly covered the Foundation’s web page www.hevanet.com/vikingship/ Jason volunteered that he knew of a group of friends who can design web pages and suggested that they might volunteer some of their time to update the foundation’s web page. The board supported this suggestion.
It was suggested that because the Foundation represented a broader group than just the Portland area that other lodges, especially groups out of Astoria be contacted to determine if they wished to actively participate in the ship reconstruction and housing efforts.
The group briefly discussed other fund raising avenues including t-shirts, caps, pins, key chains, and polo shirts. Ron Peterson displayed a print of a Viking Ship he had taken in Norway that he was donating to the Lodge. He then suggested that smaller prints, some of which could be framed, could be sold as a fundraiser.
After further discussion it was moved to convene the next meeting of the PCVSF board in two weeks. Upon confirmation of room availability, the board agreed to meet on February 27th at 11:00 AM. The Meeting adjourned at 12:30 PM

The information included the Articles of Incorporation as a nonprofit, a constitution which stated the purpose and activities of the foundation, and a copy of the organizational meeting held on June 19, 1997, and a copy of the by-Laws. Rick Walker, Sec. took possession of the materials and will scan these documents which will be kept in a safe place.
Frank Krone reported that he may have found someone who has a building that could house the ship during repairs. This is a maybe only at this time.
The discussion then focused on the Cups to be available for sale at the 16th Friends of History meeting. After lengthy discussion a cup design was agreed to that included: at the top Pacific Coast Viking Ship Foundation, a Viking ship design, below the name of the ship SLEIPNIR, which means Odin’s Horse, and at the bottom of the cup will be our mini blog site. This information was given to Jeff Williams who will have the artwork prepared. When finished it will be posted and all can see it prior to the cups being finished.
It was suggested to find out how much it would cost to get a two sided cup to help with the potential design of the cup. Frank Krone would check into it.
It was not known if the United Grocers were going to donate cookies to the 16th event, so several members offered to bring snacks including a larger coffee pot. Several would be wearing their traditional bunads. Tom would contact the ladies social to see if they wanted to prepare some eats.
The next meeting is scheduled for the 10th of April at 11 AM at Grieg Lodge.
The Meeting adjourned at 12:15 PM

Meeting began at 11 AM at Grieg Lodge. Frank Krone updated the committee as to the progress with the Friends of History meeting on the 16th of April. Frank mentioned several corporate sponsors were fourth coming with assistance with the meeting with coffee and most likely cookies and other refreshments. Frank also explained that the orders for the cups would be placed prior to April 5th, and that there was not sufficient funds to add any additional items for fund raising. Any and all available fundraising items remaining from the previous acquisitions would be brought to the April 16th meeting. Frank also reported that Room 494 was reserved for our use prior to the meeting for movies.
William H. Alsdorf, pulled out his Viking movies for discussion. The VHS format would cause some issues with the lodge’s equipment so Jason Curl offered to bring his DVD of the Vikings, which will also be shown at the Second Tuesday Film Night at the lodge. Rick Walker, mentioned that the committee would be bring the stew and fresh bread to the movie showing.
Frank passed out flyers describing the Friends of History presentation on the 16th to the members for distribution to various venues in Portland. Many suggestions were made regarding the best locations for flyer distribution. Frank also reported that he would be contacting the Secretary of State offices to correct minor non-profit documentation issues, that needed to be corrected. There is $300 remaining in the previous account that Tom Birnie would be transferring to the Pacific Coast Viking Ship Foundation for deposit in an account. Jason Curl and Rick Walker will be meeting next Monday at noon to open the account with the bank. The account will open with the $300, plus membership fees that have been paid.
Jeff Williams noted that members needed to be contacted via e-mail prior to the meetings. Jeff offered to set up a blog spot for the PCVSF, to allow for better communication. Jeff received all the member contact information and e-mail addresses to create a mass mailing list for meeting notices.
Roger Lane reported that the Viking Ship Model had been located and that it was being shipped, to be available for the 16th meeting. Several other ideas were discussed regarding how to make the best impression for attracting donations. Ron Peterson offered his photograph for replaction purposes for fund raising purposes. Jason Curl mentioned that he could perhaps find a discounted source for photo paper to keep the cost down.

Frank Krone called the meeting of the Pacific Coast Viking Ship Foundation (PCVSF) to order at 11:00 AM at the Grieg Lodge, 111 NE 11th Street.
After discussing several general issues of coordination, the question was asked as to where the ship model was. This model would be very helpful in drawing attention to the PCVSF at the upcoming fundraisers. The fund had paid for the model thus PCVSF should have access to the boat. Rodger Lane reported that he had seen the model at the Hegrenes Residence, and that he would pick it up next time he visited.
Roger when on to report that there was no wood remaining at the Hegrenes’s residence and that no one knew where it has gone. The oars were missing too. A lot of the boat parts were missing. The large mast seating log was broken and most likely not usable. Rodger went on to report that he did know where the head was, and would pick it up as it too may be a good attention getter at the fund raisers even thought it may not be used on the completed boat.
Bill Alsdorf expressed his concern that the headpiece was not in character with a Viking ship and that other designs would be more authentic. `
Frank Krone reported that he had a brief discussion with Larry Page, a Norwegian fisherman, at a recent trade show. Larry lives at the coast and he expressed interest in perhaps providing storage for the boat at the coast. Frank went on to say that it should be our first priority to relocate the boat out of the weather, so that no further damage would occur. Several expressed having discussions with folks that may be interested in finding a place for the boat. Several said that they would continue to seek shelter for the boat. Frank reported that Portland Public Schools reported that they were in a transitional planning phase and had no space to commit to storage of the boat. Rick Walker reported that he knew several leasing agents at the Port of Portland and that he would contact them to see if they would be interested in providing some space.
Next item for discussion was dues. Dave Alford suggested a structured dues program that included cups and coffee as an incentive. Bill Alsdorf seconded the motion, and Bob Stevens called to question that specifics needed to be agree upon. After discussion it as agreed that dues would include a foundation friend at $10, a member at $20, and corporate participation would be encouraged without any specific dues level set. When available, the coffee cup and some coffee could be added to the Dues at an additional cost of $5 at both the Foundation Friend and Member level. Bill moved, seconded by Dave, and approved by those present. It was later discussed and voted that membership would be on a calendar year basis, and that those joining after October 1st would have membership throughout the next calendar.
The board then discussed briefly the cup design, noting that significant savings could be had if the design for the cup was provided by the Foundation rather than the cup maker. Thus, it was agreed that foundation members would seek to establish a design generally integrating the Viking ship in the design.
When developing the design and other fundraising items, the name of the ship needed to be settled. It was generally agreed that the previous name Lakselv, had no historical significance and that we should explore others. Several others were mentioned including naming the boat after Rick Hagernes. Several expressed concern that the name should be identifiable from an historical perspective to enhance greater participation and to possibly attract grant funds. One name offered Ormenlange, had good historical relevance as expressed by several members as well as the name Birnie Harlodson. Discussion also included naming the ship for Norwegian Mythical Gods. After further discussion, it was agreed that it would be premature to name the boat at this meeting. Several would follow up on contacting Rick Hagernes’s family to see if they had any objections if we decided to use his name, while Bill Alsdorf offered to research to see if any other boats were using any of the suggested names, most notably Ormenlandge.
Tom Birnie reported that Berry Anderson, a retired PSU professor was willing to present his Viking ship program before the Friends of History group in Cramer Hall on the 16th of April. Bernie would ask Mr. Anderson if he was willing to make the presentation gratis, which would help the fund raising efforts. The board members agreed that we should attempt to bring our own refreshments as having them provided could cost up to $250. Rick Walker then reported that the Grieg Lodge Centennial Group had invited the PCVSF to attend their event on April 15th and 16th in the crafts room, and that they also would enjoy and encouraged us that Mr. Anderson could make this presentation on one or both of these days. After a brief discussion Tom agreed to approach Berry Anderson to see if he was willing to do a presentation at the 17th of May celebration, while others agreed to see if the lodge had the equipment to accommodate Professor Anderson’s power point presentation.
Frank Krone reported that Grieg Lodge had a scholarship that fit the purposes of the PCVSF. Dave moved that we apply for the grant, Frank seconded, and after discussion all agreed to submit an application.
Dave Alford suggested that the Board clarify under 501-3C requirements who were the voting members. And that it should be dues paying members. The membership paid or committed to pay dues. Those paying were Dave Alford, Johanne Fedde, Rodger Lane and William Alsdorf, and Tom Birnie.
General discussion perused regarding methods to generate funding including contacting IKEA, the producer of the new Mel Gibson movie on Vikings, adding a pancake breakfast at the lodge, and involving other Scandinavian groups. It was re-emphasized that this project was not a Grieg Lodge project but needed to be an entire effort from the Sardinian Community. The lodge would be contacted after the Centennial Celebration to see if an additional pancake breakfast weekend could be added to the schedule for the PCVSF. It was also suggested that perhaps we could do a Swedish or Danish breakfast. Dave would investigate further.
Discussion then shifted to the web page as an outreach tool. How to get access to the page was discussed with Rick Hegrenes’s Daughter mentioned as the most likely person to have the password and needed information to update the web page.
It was agreed that the Friends of History presentation would be on April 16th at 7:30 PM, in Room 171 of Cramer Hall. Refreshments would be served beginning at 6:30 PM in the Finish Room 124. Rick will notify Grieg Notes about the presentation to see if they will put it in the newsletter. The decision for the items to be sold needed to be resolved at the next meeting to assure availability at the April 16th meeting. Ginnie Oestrevch suggested considering a patch rather than hats or shirts in that patches were easier to manage as a fundraiser. To this end, the next meeting was agreed to be on March 13th, 11 AM at the Grieg Lodge. After further discussion it was moved and approved to convene the next meeting on March 13th at 11:00 AM, at Grieg Lodge.
The Meeting adjourned at 12:30 PM

Frank Krone called the meeting of the Pacific Coast Viking Ship Foundation (PCVSF) to order at 11:00 AM at the Grieg Lodge, 111 NE 11th Street.
Due to the schedules of the Board Members the first item for consideration was the election of the Board Members.
Nominations opened with Kunt Austad nominating Frank Krone for the position of President. Tom Birnie seconded the motion, and the motion passed unanimously.
Nominations opened for Vice President with Tom Birnie nominating Dave Alford. Frank Krone and the Motion Passed seconded the motion.
Nominations opened for Secretary, with Kurt Austad nominating Rick Walker. Tom Birnie seconded the motion, and the motion was passed.
Nominations for Treasurer was opened, with Jason Curl nominating Michael Curl. Rick Walker seconded the motion, with the motion passing.
The next item for discussion was concerning the issue of promotional items to generate revenue to supplement the $400, currently in the foundation’s bank account. The first item for consideration was a promotional cup that could sale for between $10 and $15. This cup would likely cost the foundation $2.53 per item with a minimum order of 144 cups or ($2.53/cups X 144 cups) $364.32. These cups would be mono colored, with art selected by the Board.
Frank Krone reported that he had contacted the State of Oregon to determine if the completion of the Viking Ship would qualify for any cultural or historical grants. Frank had not heard back from the State. Frank has also sought to contact the Oregon Cultural Trust to see if they had any grant monies for which the ship reconstruction would qualify. As of the date of this meeting, he had not received a response. Frank Krone opened a discussion of the foundation partnering with the Portland State “Friends of History” group. He suggested that this group would be interested in hearing about the Viking Ship reconstruction and would likely donate space at PSU for an informational meeting. Tom Birnie knew of a film about Viking Ships that should attract a good amount of people. Tom also knew of a retired professor, Berry Anderson, who was very knowledgeable and who might be interested in making a presentation about Viking Ships. Tom Birnie volunteered to contact the Friends of History group and Berry Anderson to see if they would be willing to schedule a Viking Ship movie and lecture on April 16, 2010 in Cramer Hall at PSU.
It was later discussed that the Board needed to move forward on the promotional cups at the next board meeting to assure that the cups could be used to raise funds at the Friends of History meeting on the 16th of April.
The board discussed coordinating with the Centennial Planning group to determine if the PCVSF could participate in the celebration, buy having a booth, and presenting a lecture and film about Viking ships. Review of the celebration activities found that the most likely way to participate is to participate in the Cultural and Crafts activities taking place at the lodge on the 15th and 16th of May, and to participate in the parade on the 19th. Rick Walker volunteered to contact the Centennial Committee to see what was possible and to also see if The Grieg Notes would publish a notice of the Foundation’s presentation to the Friends of History group at PSU.
The next item of discussion involved dues. The previous Viking Ship Foundation had charged $15 dues to be a foundation member. This would allow those interested to keep abreast of the ship reconstruction activities. Knut Austad reported that he had a long list of interested folks who wished to be kept abreast of the ship’s progress that could be used to solicit membership in the foundation. After the foundation opened an accessible account into which funds could be maintained, there would likely be a campaign to solicit membership in the foundation, most likely beginning with the Friends of History presentations on the 16th of April at PSU.
The discussion briefly covered the Foundation’s web page www.hevanet.com/vikingship/ Jason volunteered that he knew of a group of friends who can design web pages and suggested that they might volunteer some of their time to update the foundation’s web page. The board supported this suggestion.
It was suggested that because the Foundation represented a broader group than just the Portland area that other lodges, especially groups out of Astoria be contacted to determine if they wished to actively participate in the ship reconstruction and housing efforts.
The group briefly discussed other fund raising avenues including t-shirts, caps, pins, key chains, and polo shirts. Ron Peterson displayed a print of a Viking Ship he had taken in Norway that he was donating to the Lodge. He then suggested that smaller prints, some of which could be framed, could be sold as a fundraiser.
After further discussion it was moved to convene the next meeting of the PCVSF board in two weeks. Upon confirmation of room availability, the board agreed to meet on February 27th at 11:00 AM. The Meeting adjourned at 12:30 PM
